The Hearts card game is a classic trick-taking game perfect for 3-6 players. Here’s a quick guide to get you started.
- Setup: Use a standard 52-card deck. Deal all cards evenly among players.
- Aim: Avoid collecting hearts and the Queen of Spades as these add penalty points.
- Gameplay: Each round begins with players passing three cards to an opponent. The player with the 2 of Clubs starts. Players must follow suit if possible; otherwise, they can play any card.
- Scoring: Hearts are worth one point each, and the Queen of Spades is worth 13 points. The game ends when a player reaches 100 points, and the player with the lowest score wins.
