Latest Steam announcements

  • UPDATE: Fix for secret scoring bug - 12 November 2021

    Today's update fixes the secret scoring bug where you could get an extra two points by holding one of your Nerts cards when you click the "LOCK IN" button. I probably should have fixed this months ago...

  • UPDATE: Ping times and ready overrides - 14 March 2021

    Today's update adds ping times to the lobby list and an "override ready" button that the host can use to force uncooperative players to ready up.

  • UPDATE: Fix for holographic effect on OpenGL - 2 February 2021

    Just a quick update to fix the holographic card backs on Mac and Linux, which use OpenGL instead of DirectX. Oops!

  • UPDATE: House rules, "Sponsorship Package" DLC - 1 February 2021

    Today's update brings back the Nerts bonus as one of three new "house rules" that can be enabled in non-public lobbies. You can now change the Nerts bonus (0, 5, or 10 points), change the length of the game (100, 75, or 50 points), and enable a "balance mode" that gives players 1 additional Nerts card for each 25 points they have. There are a few new technical details that go with this: Switching a lobby to public will lock these settings to their defaults. When a non-hosting player joins a public lobby it will be locked to public. Lobby settings cannot be changed while a game is in progress. We've also added a "Sponsorship Package" DLC that you can purchase to unlock a NERTS! Online themed card back and a special holographic foil effect you can use with it or any of the other card backs. I'm a little embarrassed to have created what is basically an in-app purchase, but we've had a numb…

  • UPDATE: High-visibility card faces - 25 January 2021

    Today's update adds an option to toggle between standard card faces and new high-visibility card faces, which have larger numbers and a single large suit symbol in the center.

  • UPDATE: Removing the Nerts bonus - 19 January 2021

    Today's update removes the experimental 10 point Nerts bonus. It will return as an optional lobby setting once I find some time to add a proper lobby settings menu. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

  • NERTS! Online from Zachtronics gets expanded public multiplayer - 19 January 2021

    NERTS! Online is the free to play card game from the clever people at Zachtronics (Eliza, Opus Magnum, Infinifactory) that was created to help them play together that they released free to the public. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/01/nerts-online-from-zachtronics-gets-expanded-public-multiplayer

  • UPDATE: Public matchmaking and Nerts! bonus - 18 January 2021

    Today's update adds public matchmaking. When you create a lobby you can now set the lobby type to "fully public" from the options menu, which will cause it to show up in the lobby lists of other players. The default setting is "friends and groups", is equivalent to the old behavior from before this update and does not include the game in the public lobby list. In addition to setting the lobby type, you can now also set a player limit when creating a lobby. Finally, this update also adds an experimental 10 point bonus for the player who calls Nerts! in a given round. Although we never played this way in the office, many other players have, and I'm hoping that it will fix the strange situation where it's sometimes better to play a bunch of cards rather than ending the round as the "winner".

  • UPDATE: Improvements for 1-3 player games - 11 January 2021

    Today's update includes the following changes: Increased the number of per-player "tableau" stacks to 6 in 1-2 player games and 5 in 3 player games. This changes the strategy a little, but makes the speed of gameplay more consistent regardless of the number of players. Changed the rules so that when players get stuck we now end the round instead of shuffling decks for a third time. The first two shuffles remain unchanged. Changed inactive players to be hidden so that the layout of the table does not change while a round is in progress. Fixed a bug where cards could not be manually placed back on the deal pile. Fixed a bug where Steam usernames would sometimes overflow the UI.

  • UPDATE: Lobby join links - 6 January 2021

    Today's update adds a button to the options menu that copies a lobby join link to your clipboard. You can share this link with other people to allow them to quickly join your game without having to find you somewhere on Steam and right-click on your name.

Short description

NERTS! Online is a fast-paced competitive solitaire game for you and up to five of your friends, played the same way we play it at the Zachtronics office!

About this game

Nerts is a fast-paced competitive solitaire game for you and up to five of your friends! Unlike the rest of our solitaire games, we did not invent Nerts. We learned about it from our artist Kyle, who has played it for years, and started playing it after lunch in the Zachtronics office. Over time we added more to it, including house rules, longer tournaments, and even a theme song. When we started working from home in early 2020 we made a rough version of the game to play over the internet, which eventually (nine months later) was cleaned up and turned into this. The game includes a few Zachtronics additions, like players being allowed to move cards between their Nerts pile and their tableau after Nerts has been called. It's free, but you do technically unlock card backs by owning our other games, so let's pretend that's a legitimate monetization strategy. (UPDATE: We've also added an optional "Sponsorship Package" DLC you can purchase, which unlocks a NERTS! Online themed card back and a special holographic foil effect you can use with any of the other card backs.) Have fun!

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

NERTS! Online's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

NERTS! Online's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records NERTS! Online at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
