Hearts for Two
Objective:
Hearts for two requires you to score the least amount of points. This game is played with two players.
Rules on How To Play:
Deal 13 cards to each player. Put the remainder of the pack face down as the stock. Hearts doesn’t permit exchanging cards before play. Non dealer leads to the first trick.
In
Hearts For Two you must follow suit if can; otherwise, play any card. No suit is trump. The trick is taken by the higher card of the suit that is led. After each trick, both players take a new card from the stock, the winner of the trick draws first.
Hearts may not be led until a card from this suit has been discarded, If you have only this suit left, you must play one.
In the four player Hearts version the rules are to discard the
Q at the first opportunity, Hearts for Two doesn’t require it. If a player leads the
A, opponent also must follow with the
Q if able to. If a player leads
K, opponent must follow with the Queen or else win the trick with the Ace.
Hearts for Two continues until all tricks have been played out, even after the stock is gone.
Hearts For Two Scoring:
Players count the hearts in the tricks they have taken and score a point for each. The player who took the
Q in a trick scores 6 points. Low score wins after ten hands. A successful moon shot scores 19 points for the other player.
Shooting the Moon:
A Heart taken in a trick counts as 1 point each, and the
Q taken in a trick counts 6. Or you can "shoot the moon," which means to take all the hearts plus the
Q and score 19 for the other player.
