סקירה כללית לבבות הוא משחק קלפים ל-4 שחקנים, כל שחקן לעצמו. It uses the standard 52-card pack, ranked A (high) to 2 (low), with the figure cards being KQJ high to low. SETUP The entire deck is dealt, giving each player a hand of 13 cards. After looking at your hand, choose three cards to pass to another player.

The passing rotation is:

(1st hand) to the player on your left, (2nd hand) to the player on your right, (3rd hand) to the player across the table, (4th hand) no passing. The rotation repeats until the game ends.

TRICKS After passing cards, the player holding the 2♣ leads the first trick. Each player must follow suit if possible. If you have no cards of the suit led, you may play a card of any suit. Exception: You may not play a ♥ or the Q♠ on the first trick, even if you have no clubs. The highest card of the suit led wins the trick. The winner of a trick starts the next trick. Hearts may not be led until a ♥ has been played (this is called "breaking hearts"). There is no trump suit. SCORING At the end of each hand, each ♥ taken by a player counts -1, and the Q♠ counts -13. If one player has taken all 13 ♥s and Q♠ (this is known as "shooting the moon", or "slam"), that player scores 0 and all other players score -26. Warning other players about an attempt to shoot the moon is team play, and a breach of Hearts etiquette. When one or more players reach zero, the game ends. The player with the highest score wins.
