About this title

Synopsis

Learn the rules of Hearts and master a game that's easy to pick up but rich in strategy.

The regulation game of Hearts is designed for four players with a full deck and no trump. The goal is simple: shed all the hearts in your hand while avoiding penalties. You follow suit, take tricks carefully, and try to discard hearts at the right moment. The book explains how dealing works, how to score using counters or chips, and what happens when a revoke occurs. It also covers variations like the Double or Eagle game, where heart points count more and penalties rise.

This edition presents practical guidance on reading your hand, timing leads, and managing risks as you play. It contrasts the standard game with its doubles variant and offers a clear explanation of penalties and payouts in each case. The writing aims to help beginners start with a solid base and progress toward more strategic play.

How to deal, follow suit, and determine tricks in the no-trump Hearts game
How to count and pay penalties, including revoke penalties
Differences and scoring for the Double or Eagle version
Practical tips on planning hands and avoiding hearts
