Hearts is a trick game for four where you want as few points as possible. Every heart costs a point, the queen of spades costs 13.

1
The goal
Avoid hearts and the queen of spades.
Every heart in your tricks is 1 point, the queen of spades is 13. When someone reaches 100 points, the player with the fewest wins.
2
Passing
Before each hand, pass three cards.
First to the left, then to the right, then across, then a hand without passing. Get rid of high cards and the queen of spades.
3
The first trick
Whoever holds the two of clubs leads it.
After that, the winner of each trick leads the next one.
4
Follow suit
Play the suit that was led if you can.
The highest card of that suit wins the trick. There are no trumps in Hearts.
5
Breaking hearts
Hearts can only be led once a heart has been played.
If you can't follow suit you may throw off a heart: then hearts are broken. (If you only have hearts left, you may lead them anyway.)
6
A clean start
No points in the first trick.
If you can't follow clubs, you may not throw off a heart or the queen of spades. (Unless you have nothing else.)
7
Counting
Hearts 1 each, queen of spades 13.
That's 26 points per hand. The game shows the points in each trick right away.
8
Shooting the moon
Take all 26 points and everyone else gets 26.
Risky but powerful: it only works if you get every heart and the queen. (In the lobby you can choose to subtract 26 from yourself instead.)
9
End of the game
The fewest points win.
The game ends after the hand in which someone reaches 100 points.

Practice alone against easy, medium or strong bots.

The game only lets you play legal cards and shows why.

Go for all 26 points and turn the game around.
