![]() Note that players do not have to meet standing requirements for rematches if their standings have changed. Players may vote for a rematch at the end of a game, provided they can meet the required wager. Players' standings may also increase or decrease. If a wager has been placed on the game, the Pieces of Eight will be distributed according to the Payout type setting. The player with the least points wins the game. The game ends as soon as one or more player reaches the score limit. Additionally, one can not play a heart card or the queen of spades on the very first trick. *Note that heart cards must be 'broken' (played previously) before they can be led, or the player must have nothing but heart cards in his or her hand. Play continues in this fashion until all 13 tricks have been taken, after which the round is over and player scores are totalled up. They now lead the next trick, choosing any card they wish*. Once all players have played one card, the trick is complete, and the person with the highest ranking card in the original (led) suit wins it. Unlike spades, hearts has no trump suit, and thus if a player can not place a higher card of the led suit on the table then that player can not win the trick. The highest card of the led suit will win the trick. The tricks work according to standard trick taking rules - a player must put down a card of the same suit if they can (or follow suit), but are otherwise free to play any card. Play revolves in a clock-wise fashion after all cards are passed: the player to the left of the person who led the 2 of clubs plays a card, followed by the player to their left and so on. There are 13 tricks per round, thus in each round all of the 52 cards are played. Since neither East nor West had any diamonds remaining, and South's diamond had a higher value than North's, South wins the trick.Ī trick is a set of four cards, one played by each player. North has led with the 2 of diamonds in this trick. Left, right, across, hold - the same as above, with no pass on the fourth round. ![]()
