- **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.
-

- with the lowest score wins the game.
