Hearts is a popular card game that can be played online. The game is played by four players. The score goes to the points, which are assigned to the cards of the heart suit and the queen of spades. The player who scored as few points as possible by the end of the game wins.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn the rules of the game. The dealer in the first round stands out among the players as a result of a draw, then the players deal cards in turn. Each participant in the game is dealt 13 cards. The first to go is the player who was dealt a pair of clubs, and the game begins with this card. Further clockwise, the players put cards of the same suit or any other cards if there is no suited one. On the first move, you cannot put a heart card or a queen of spades. The bribe is taken by the player who played the highest card suited to the first. As a result, 13 tricks are played. If there is a heart-suit card in the trick, the player receives one point for it. The one who takes the Queen of Spades will receive 13 points at once. The player who managed to collect all the cards of the heart suit and the Queen of Spades does not receive points, but all other participants receive 26 points. When one of the players reaches 100 points, he loses.
Step 2
Find a game you can join online. To do this, you need to open the "Start" menu, select "All Programs", go to the "Games" folder and click on the "Internet Hearts" icon. You will join the same Internet users who want to play this game. Specify the name under which you will play, and configure the game parameters in the corresponding menu item. At the very beginning of the game, the participants exchange three cards. When getting rid of cards, try to fold aces and kings.
Step 3
Use some little tricks to get you closer to victory. If you see yourself forced to take a trick, take it with the highest card of that suit. Save cards of lesser value in order to play with them. In this case, there is a good chance that the rest of the players will lay big cards. Beware of taking a bribe from the Queen of Spades. Remember that this card will add 13 points to you at once. Although there are two cases when you, on the contrary, need to take this card. The first is if you collect all the hearts and want to add 26 points to your opponents. The second - if you notice that another participant in the game is going to do this, and you want to ruin his plans. Keep in mind that at the beginning of the game it will be easier for you to get rid of high cards without serious consequences, because at this time the players have cards of all suits, which means that it is less likely that hearts will come to you along with the trick. Try to keep track of which cards have already been played and whether the Queen of Spades is out. Take care of the ace of hearts, because it will come in handy when you need to cope with an opponent who collects all the hearts and the queen of spades.
