📋 How to play

1. Joining and Starting a Game

  • Create a game: One player hosts a new lobby and receives a unique 4-character game code.
  • Join a game: Other players enter this 4-character code to instantly connect to the same lobby.
  • Start the game: Once all players have successfully joined, the host can officially start the match.

2. Game Settings

  • Deal one by one: Cards are distributed individually, resulting in a completely randomized and fair distribution.
  • Deal in chunks: This mode simulates how cards are collected after a round and imperfectly shuffled in a real-life game. It leads to more cards of the same suit being grouped together.
  • Play up to... points: This setting sets the specific point threshold that triggers the end of the game.

3. Rules of Hearts

  • The objective: Avoid winning tricks that contain penalty cards to keep your total score as low as possible.
  • Penalty points: Each Heart card is worth 1 penalty point, and the Queen of Spades is worth 13 penalty points.
  • Passing cards: At the start of most rounds, each player selects three cards to pass to an opponent.
  • The opening lead: The player holding the 2 of Clubs must play it to start the very first trick.
  • Following suit: Players must always play a card of the led suit if they have one in their hand.
  • Winning a trick: The highest card of the suit led wins the trick, as there are no trump suits.
  • Breaking hearts: Players cannot lead a Heart until a Heart or the Queen of Spades has been discarded.
  • Shooting the moon: If a player takes all 26 penalty points, they get 0 points while all opponents get 26 points.
