Instruction:
How to Play
Setup
A standard 52-card deck is used; each of the four players receives 13 cards.
The aim: accrue as few penalty points as possible.
Passing Cards
At the start of each round, each player selects three cards from their hand to pass to another player.
The direction of the pass rotates each round:
Round 1 → pass to the player on your left
Round 2 → pass to the player on your right
Round 3 → pass to the player across from you
Round 4 → no passing
Then the cycle repeats.
Leading and Playing Tricks
The player who holds the 2 of Clubs leads the first trick.
Play proceeds clockwise. Each player must follow suit if able (i.e., play a card of the same suit as was led).
If you cannot follow suit, you may play any card (subject to some restrictions).
Hearts cannot be led until they are “broken” (someone has played a heart when unable to follow suit).
The winner of each trick is the one who played the highest-ranked card in the suit that was led. That player leads the next trick.
Scoring
At the end of a hand (when all 13 tricks are played):
Each heart card you’ve taken = 1 point
The Queen of Spades = 13 points
The round ends, scores are tallied up.
The game continues until any player reaches or exceeds a set threshold (commonly 100 points). The player with the lowest total score at that moment wins the game.
Shooting the Moon
A daring move: if you manage to take all the hearts and the Queen of Spades in one hand, you “shoot the moon”.
Instead of you getting penalty points, you score 0 for that hand and all your opponents receive the full penalty (commonly 26 points).
It’s a high-risk, high-reward strategy and must be carefully timed.

Getting Started Tips
On your first round: pass away high hearts and the Queen of Spades if you get them—safer than holding onto them.
Try to void (have none) of a particular suit early—so when that suit is led, you can unload hearts or the Queen of Spades safely.
Pay attention to who’s collecting points—if someone is getting many hearts, you might shift strategy to stop them.
Don’t rush to shoot the moon unless your hand is very strong and you’re confident.
Keep note of cards that have been played—especially high hearts and spades—to anticipate which suits are safe and which are dangerous.
