How to Play Hearts: Rules and Scoring
Learn the goal, passing phase, trick-taking rules, penalty cards and common scoring for four-player Hearts.
Read guide →Passing Cards in Hearts
A common four-hand cycle passes left, right, across, then holds. Each player selects three cards before looking at the three received. Check the table rules, since the cycle can vary.
Read guide →Hearts Scoring and Shooting the Moon
In common four-player Hearts, each heart scores one penalty point and the queen of spades scores thirteen. There are twenty-six penalty points per hand. Other spades do not carry that penalty.
Read guide →Following Suit and Breaking Hearts
If you hold the suit led, you must play that suit. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick. A card of a different suit does not win it.
Read guide →Hearts Strategy for Beginners
Look at suit lengths, high cards and low escape cards. Keeping low cards can help you avoid winning dangerous tricks. Passing every low card can leave you forced to take penalties.

Is Hearts the same as Gin Rummy?
No. Hearts is a trick-taking game about avoiding penalty cards. Gin Rummy builds sets and runs. The featured playable table is labeled with its actual game name.
