description Spot Hearts Overview
Spot Hearts is a trick-taking card-game variant in the Hearts family. It keeps the central Hearts objective of avoiding penalty cards, but assigns penalty values according to the cards’ spots or ranks instead of giving every heart the same value. Number cards score their face value, while the jack, queen, king, and ace of hearts are commonly assigned 11, 12, 13, and 14 points. The result makes high hearts substantially more dangerous and rewards careful control of the tricks a player wins.
