How to play

Pass three. Before each hand, pass 3 cards: left, then right, then across, then no pass, and repeat.
Follow suit. The 2♣ leads the first trick. Play the suit led if you can; the highest card of that suit takes the trick.
Dodge the points. Each heart is 1 point, the Q♠ 13. No points on the first trick, and hearts can't be led until one has been discarded.
Shoot the moon. Take all 13 hearts and the Q♠: you score 0 and everyone else takes 26. When someone reaches 50, the lowest score wins.

Quick tips

Pass to get void. If you hold only two or three cards of a side suit, passing them all leaves you void. The first time that suit is led, you can drop the Q♠ or a heart.
Fear high spades only until the Queen falls. While the Q♠ is still out, an A♠ or K♠ can catch her. Once she has been played, your high spades are safe again.
