-
-
- ^1OBJECT^0
-
- To avoid taking tricks containing any Hearts or the Queen of Spades.
-
-
- ^1THE PASS^0
-
- At the beginning of a Round, each player is dealt a 13 card hand. You will
- then select 3 cards in your hand to pass to the player on your left. (On
- subsequent Rounds the pass will be to the right, across, and finally a Round
- where each player will play the cards dealt. After this "hold" hand, the pass
- rotation will begin again by passing 3 cards to the player on the left.)
-
-
- ^1THE PLAY^0
-
- Play begins with the player to the right of the dealer leading any card
- except a Heart. After the first Heart is played, Hearts are "broken" and may
- be led. Each player then plays, in turn, a card that matches the suit led.
- If a player has no more of that suit, the player may choose any card in hand,
- including a Heart. The highest card of the led suit takes the trick and the
- player who takes it leads a card for the next round.
-
-
- ^1SCORING^0
-
- At the end of each hand, player scores are totaled. A player receives 1
- point for each Heart taken in a trick, 13 points if the player took the Queen
- of Spades. However, if you should "Shoot the Moon" (capture all the Hearts
- and the Queen of Spades) a total of 26 points is added to each of your
- opponents' scores. When one player's grand total reaches or exeeds 100
- points, the entire game ends and the player(s) with the lowest score(s) win(s)
- the game.
