**==================**
**a. How to Play Hearts**
**---------------------**
There are many variations of the game of Hearts,
Dirty Hearts is one variation.
Each player is dealt 13 cards. The Player with the
2 of Clubs is the first to discard. Afterwards, play
continues around the board in a clockwise direction.
The first card of each play is known as the trick
card. If possible, each player must discard a card
in the same suit as the trick card. If a player
no longer has a card of the trick suit, then the
player has the option of discarding a card from the
trump suit, or any other suit.
The trump suit is the Heart suit, and a Heart card
can only be played after a player runs out of the
trick suit.
In each round the player who discards the highest
card of the trick suit wins the hand. Each Heart card
is worth 1 point, and the Queen of Spades has a
value of 13 points.
There is a total of 200 points to a game. The player
with the lowest score wins the game.
