Hearts — how to play

Simple rules — the game also teaches you as you play.

1. Four players, 52 cards, 13 each. Before each deal everyone passes 3 cards: left, right, across, and every fourth deal no pass.
2. The two of clubs leads. Follow suit; if you can\'t, play any card.
3. Each heart is 1 penalty point, the queen of spades 13. Hearts can\'t be led until someone has discarded one.
4. Take every heart and the queen — shoot the moon: you get 0, everyone else 26.
5. The game ends at 100. The lowest score wins.
