- Hearts, eh? I like lots of card games, but Hearts is my favorite. I've got
- a variation that adds a bit of spice to it: the winner of a round gets to
- reassign a rank for the next round.
-
- For example, if I've won this round, then after the next deal and before the
- pass, I could make Kings rank between 8's and the 7's. In practice, this
- takes on two common forms:
-
- Lowjack: where a card is designated to rank lower than the deuce
- (pretty hairy when Queens are ranked this way)
-
- Hijack: where a card is designated to rank higher than the ace
-
-
- Peeve: we used to play Bridge every lunchtime in the Tek cafeteria; no one
- here seems to play cards.
