Hearts

Hearts is a trick-taking card game for four players using a standard 52-card deck. Players aim to avoid winning tricks containing hearts or the queen of spades, as these carry penalty points. The game ends when a player reaches 100 points, with the lowest scorer winning. Hearts involves strategic decision-making and careful tracking of played cards.
