About this video
Hearts taught from scratch through one hand played start to finish: how the cards rank, what a trick is, who takes it and why, and what a trick is worth. Then passing, the forced two-of-clubs lead, no points on the first trick, why hearts cannot be led until they are broken, and the Queen of Spades landing thirteen points on somebody.
Learn Hearts from scratch: passing, following suit, the first-trick restrictions, breaking hearts, the Queen of Spades and scoring.
The tutorial compares a trick worth no points with one worth sixteen. Follow who wins each trick and which cards contribute penalties before the final explanation of shooting the moon.
