About this game

Dutch Blitz throws four players into the same deck-clearing race at the exact same time, no turns, no waiting, just everyone's hands moving at once. You're racing to empty your personal Blitz pile onto shared center piles, while juggling your own tidy little stacks on the side. It sounds simple, then your hand and your neighbor's hand reach for the same pile and the table erupts. A Pennsylvania Dutch classic since 1960, this is less a strategy game than a shared adrenaline spike, the kind of game where "we'll just play one round" reliably turns into an hour.
