Hearts emerged in the United States during the s. It was a no-trump game for four players using 52 cards, the aim being to avoid taking any Hearts, rather than Jacks, in tricks. A variant emerged in Britain in the late 's called Black Lady which features the addition of the queen of spades as a minus card.
The object of the game is to be the player with the lowest score when the game ends. This game is for three to five players but is typically played with four.
Remove the Jokers and deal the cards one at a time face down clockwise. In the four player game, each player is dealt thirteen cards. Players must follow suit if able to do so. If they can't, the player can play any card. The trick is won by the highest card of the suit led and the trick winner then leads. After looking at his or her hand, each player chooses three cards and passes them face down to another player. All players must pass their own cards before looking at the cards received from an opponent.
The passing rotation is:. The player holding the 2 of clubs after the passing plays that card to start the first trick. Each player must follow suit if possible. If a player has no cards in the suit led, a card of any other suit may be discarded. Exception: If a player has no clubs when the first trick is led, a heart or the Queen of Spades cannot be played.
Hearts may not be led until a heart or the Queen of Spades has been played this is called 'breaking' hearts. The Queen of Spades can be led at any time. Each heart captured incurs a penalty point. The queen of spades is worth 13 points. At the end of each hand the total pently points accrued are added to your overall score. Alternatively, a target score can be agreed upon. When the first player reaches the target, the game ends. The player with the lowest score wins.
The game ends when a player reaches points. Whoever has the lowest score when points is reached is the winner. You can submit your score to the leaderboard.
