Game Play and Scoring

Setup

Hearts is typically played with 4 players using a standard 52-card deck. All cards are dealt equally to every player.

The Pass

At the start of each round, you pass 3 cards to an opponent. The direction rotates each hand: Left, Right, Across, then No Pass.

How to Play

The player with the 2 of Clubs leads. You must follow suit if possible. Point cards cannot be played on the first trick. Hearts cannot be led until "broken" by someone discarding a heart on a different suit.

Scoring

Each Heart taken is 1 point. The Queen of Spades is 13 points. If you take ALL points ("Shoot the Moon"), you get 0 and everyone else gets 26. The lowest score wins!
