__TOC__ Hearts is a standard trick taking game without a trump suit (as in the game of Spades, where spades is the trump suit), where the cards in the tricks are what matters, and not how many tricks you take overall. Hearts is played with four players, every pirate for themselves. The object of the game is to NOT take tricks with hearts (worth 1 point each) or the queen of spades (worth 13 points!). Given this, the player with the LOWEST score wins the game when another player reaches the end score. The cards are dealt and played in a clockwise direction.
