♥️ Hearts
A full game of Hearts for four players with three computer opponents: passing cards, following suit, breaking hearts, the queen of spades and shooting the moon.
How to play
- At the start of three out of every four rounds, you pass three cards: left, right, then across. In the fourth round nobody passes.
- Whoever holds the 2♣ leads. You must follow the suit of the first card in the trick whenever you can.
- You cannot lead a heart until hearts are broken, meaning someone discarded a heart in an earlier trick.
- Every heart is worth one point and the queen of spades is worth 13. The goal is to collect as few as possible.
- A player who takes all 13 hearts and the queen of spades shoots the moon and gives 26 points to every opponent.
Tips from the champions
- Try to get rid of high spades before the queen of spades shows up.
- Watch for players who ran out of a suit. They can discard points on you.
- Sometimes it pays to take a small trick so you control the next lead.
What does it train?
- Card memory
- Judging risk
- Strategic planning
