Hearts - Queen of Spades

Hearts is an entertaining card game where the main goal is to avoid taking tricks containing hearts and queen of spades, which brings more risk and should also be avoided. This game has plenty of aliases such as Black Lady, Dark Lady, Slippery Anne, and others, but they all refer to the same game known as Hearts. This game belongs to the Whist family but stands out from the rest due to its unique nature being an evasion type of game.



In Hearts, players earn penalty points for the cards they have won during the game. A player gets one point for every heart they win at the tricks, while the queen of spades gives out 13 points. Nevertheless, if a player manages to win all the scoring cards, also referred to as Slam, or Shoot the Moon, every other player's score increases by 26 points. Ultimately, the game concludes when someone reaches or surpasses 50 points. The player with the lowest score wins the game.
