PLAY BEGINS: Deal
13 cards to each player. Arrange cards in hand by suits. Determine if you
wish to try to take all tricks with hearts & black queens on them, or
take no heart or black queen tricks. NOW PASS 3 CARDS TO PLAYER ON YOUR
LEFT. Pick up your passed cards & place in hand. Each player will
still have 13 cards in their hand.
Player to left of dealer
starts by leading out any suit EXCEPT hearts or a black queen.
Hearts (or black queen) cannot be led until a heart (or black queen) has
been played on a previous trick OR is the only suit remaining in your
hand. Players must follow led suit or may throw off any other card
(including a heart or black queen) if not able to play in led suit.
Player with highest card of led suit takes the trick & leads next.
Play resumes until all cards have been played. Players add their score by totaling
hearts & black queens received on tricks taken.
Deal is passed to the left
and after determining strategy, the passing of cards is continued, LEFT,
RIGHT, ACROSS and HOLD (no passing). After passing is complete,
play resumes.
If one player takes all
the hearts on tricks and all black queens, he counts ZERO for
himself and all other players count 26, 39 or 52 (depending on players) or
may subtract the count from his score.
Once a person has reached 100 points, the
game is ended and the player with the LOWEST count WINS the game. |
