Game Rules

Your objective is to have the lowest score at the end of the game.

You select a card by scrolling left or right until the desired card is raised and press FIRE (or 5).
At the beginning of every hand, you must trade cards with an opponent. Select 3 cards to pass. Selected cards will have a dot on top of them. You will then receive 3 cards from an opponent. On every 4th hand, no cards are traded.
Play goes in a clockwise direction and you must follow suit with the first card played in the trick. If you do not have any cards left in the required suit, you may discard any card. The player who put the highest card in the trick while following suit wins the trick. You cannot play a heart or the queen of spades on the first trick and you cannot start a trick with a heart unless a heart was played earlier in the hand. The player with the 2 of clubs begins the hand.

Every time you collect a trick, you get one point for every heart in the trick, and 13 points for the queen of spades. If you win all the points in one hand, your opponents get 26 points each and you get none. The game ends when one player has over 100 points. The winner has the lowest score.
