Hearts Card Game

Hearts is called a reverse card game because the player is trying to avoid taking points instead of trying to win them. In Hearts, when a player takes a trick he receives one point for every heart that is in the trick he has taken, and 13 points if the trick he has taken includes the Queen of Spades. The players in Hearts must follow suit if they have a card of the suit that is thrown. If they do not, they can throw a card of any suit, but may not win the trick.
