Card ClubHow to play Hearts
Hearts is played by four players, each on their own. Before every hand you pass three cards – left, right, across, then no pass. The player with the 2 of clubs leads, everyone follows suit if they can, and the highest card of the led suit wins the trick.
Each heart you take is worth 1 point and the Queen of Spades is worth 13. When someone reaches 100 points, the player with the lowest score wins.
Shooting the moon
Take every heart and the Queen of Spades in a single hand and you score zero while everyone else gets 26. Card Club celebrates it with confetti – and the computer players will try it too!
