HOW TO PLAY

The little rulebook

Hearts cost one point each; the queen of spades costs thirteen. The lowest score wins.
Pass three cards left, right, across, then no cards, repeating each four rounds. The holder of 2♣ opens after passing. Follow the led suit when possible; Ace is high.
On the first trick, avoid hearts and Q♠ when another legal card is available. Lead hearts only after a heart has been played, or when holding only hearts. Q♠ alone does not break hearts.
Taking all 26 penalty points scores zero for you and 26 for each opponent. A 100-point match ends after a round takes anyone to 100 or more. Lowest total wins; ties share the rank.
Select cards and confirm. Exchanges and round breaks save automatically. Choose your seat and three CPU levels.
