Hearts

The objective of Hearts is to have the lowest score by the end of the game. Hearts carry penalty points, and the Queen of Spades is worth even more. Players take turns playing a card from their hand, starting with the player holding the Two of Clubs. The other players must follow suit if possible, but if they can't, they can play any card. The player who plays the highest-ranking card of the leading suit takes the trick.

One of the unique aspects of Hearts is that players want to avoid taking certain cards. Hearts and the Queen of Spades are undesirable because they carry penalty points. The player with the lowest score at the end of the game is the winner. It's a game that requires careful planning, observation, and a touch of luck. The first player to reach 100 points loses, and the player with the lowest score wins. But what are the different values of the cards?

Every heart card gives one point. The Queen of spades gives you 13 points, so be really careful with that one. You can also “shoot the moon” by collecting all the hearts and the Queen of spades, which means you get 0 point and all the other players get 26. In every hand played, the player with the highest number takes all the cards, so do plan every move to avoid taking the high valued cards. Have fun playing Hearts online on Silvergames.com!
