Hearts is a strategic card game that involves taking tricks. Players need to plan a strategy for themselves as well as interpret other players moves and remember the cards that have been played. Ace is high in the game of Hearts. The goal of the game is to have the lowest number of points at the end. The game ends when one or more players reach 100 points. Hearts is best when played by four players, and the instructions that follow are for that number. There are many variations that you can find, which include different numbers of players as well as other playing and scoring rules.
How to Set Up the Card Game Hearts
A single deck of card, with jokers removed, is shuffled and dealt to the players, one at a time in a facedown stack, so that each has 13 cards. At this point, players make a preliminary decision about one of two strategies. Players may choose to try to avoid winning any of the 13 hearts as well as the Queen of spades, who is called the Black Lady, or they may try to win all of the 13 hearts and the Queen of spades, which is known as Shooting the Moon.
The First Pass
Having made this preliminary decision, each player chooses any three cards from his or her hand and all simultaneously pass their cards facedown to the player to their left. Only after all cards are passed may players examine their new cards. At this point, the new information will help solidify their strategy. The passing rule is first hand passes left, second right, third across, and then the sequence starts over.
