In a four-player game,. The player holding the 2 of clubs after the pass makes the opening lead. If the 2 has been removed for the three handed game, then the 3 of clubs is led.
Each player must follow suit if possible. If a player is void of the suit led, a card of any other suit may be discarded. However, if a player has no clubs when the first trick is led, a heart or the queen of spades cannot be discarded.
The highest card of the suit led wins a trick and the winner of that trick leads next. Players don't want to end up with tricks containing hearts cards or the Queen of Spades which are worth points. But they do want to end up with the Jack of Diamonds. You need a standard deck of 52 cards. Each player is dealt the same number of cards. If you have 3 players, deal each 13 cards, then add the leftover cards to the kitty. The person who takes the first trick will take the kitty, too.
In each suit, the cards are ranked from the Ace , with the highest value, on down: K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2. The players cut for deal.
Each player is dealt a card until everyone has 13 cards in his hand. The lowest cut is the first to deal. The whole pack is dealt out clockwise, one card at a time, each placed face down. After the cards have been dealt, each player chooses three cards to pass to an opponent.
If the game allows for passing, players will select 3 cards they would like to get rid of before each turn begins. The direction of the pass changes in cycles of 4. On the first turn, players will pass their three cards to the person to their left; on the second turn, players will pass their three cards to the person to their right; on the third turn, players will pass their three cards to the person in front of them; and, on the fourth turn, no passing occurs.
Typically, players want to get rid of high ranking Hearts and the Queen of Spades as those cards will most likely win the player a trick and gain them points. Two people may play Hearts with an alteration to the deck. In Two Player Hearts, 3's, 5's, 7's, 9's, Jacks, and, Kings are removed from the deck, leaving 13 cards to be dealt to each player. All general rules remain the same. Omnibus Hearts incorporates the 10 of Diamonds. In Omnibus, if one wins a trick that contains the 10 of Diamonds, 10 points are subtracted from their score.
Subsequently, for one to Shoot the Moon, a player must win all of the Hearts, the Queen of Spades, and the 10 of Diamonds. The shooter decides which option best advances their play. Cancellation Hearts is a version of Hearts for large amounts of players, typically In Cancellation Hearts, 2 packs of cards are in play. Because there are doubles of every card, a new strategy of cancellation emerges.
If a pair of cards is played, they cancel each other out in trick ranking but, still count as points. So, if both Ace of Hearts are played, the next highest card wins the trick but, the winner still takes two points for the Hearts.
If 2 pairs of any card are in play, the trick is voided and cards are given to the winner of the next trick. In Cancellation Hearts, a common strategy is to pair up the Queen of Spades so that the winner of the trick gets a devastating 26 point addition. For 5 players, one Joker is added, 21 cards are dealt to each player, and the Joker leads the game. For 6 players, a 2 of Clubs, and a 2 of Diamonds are removed, 17 cards are dealt to each player and the remaining 2 of Clubs leads the game.
For 7 players, a Joker is added, 15 cards are dealt to each player, and the Joker leads. The rotation then repeats until the game ends. When other than four players are involved, the passing rotation is: 1 to the player on your left, 2 to the player on your right, then repeat. The player holding the 2 of clubs after the pass plays that card to start the first trick. If the 2 of clubs has been removed in the 3-player game, then the 3 of clubs is led.
Each player must follow suit if possible. If a player has no cards in the suit led, a card of any other suit may be discarded. If, however, a player has no clubs when the first trick is led, a heart or the Black Maria cannot be played. The highest card of the suit led wins a trick. The winner of the trick keeps all cards won in a single stack in front of himself or herself, face down.
The winner of a trick starts the next trick. Hearts may not be led until a heart, or the Black Maria has been played this is called "breaking" hearts.
The Black Maria can be led at any time. There is no trump suit in Hearts.
