The card version of the game uses a full 52 deck of cards. No jokers are left in the deck and the highest ranking card starts with the Ace. It then goes to King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8 ,7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2. The full deck is then dealt to all four players. The dealer then chooses three cards from each play to give on to the next player.

The first round is for the player to the dealers left. Then the next round is given to the player on the right and the third round for the player directly across the table. No cards are sent out on the fourth round.

The whole object of the game is to play all the penalty points. The penalty points come from the hearts and the Queen of Spades.

This is the beginning of what is known in America as American Hearts. There are many other versions of hearts that can be played and some are as follows: Dutch Hearts, Achterhocks Hearts, Traditional Hearts, Split pass, Adlergrove Pass, Hearts for three players, Hearts for five players, Hearts for six or more players, Chinese Hearts, Extreme Hearts, and Black Maria. As you can see, there are many different variations to choose from.

 The player who hands out the card and passes out two clovers (clubs) is ready to begin. The other players must settle after the clock card comes into play. They should then have a map of the same suit. When a player does not have any cards of one color, a map of a different color should be played.

The players must then resolve a card, and the one with the highest card should have resolved four cards and have a new map to release. When the player has four cards of the same color, the ranking system is used to determine the high card. The ace is the high card. One can never be the highest of the four cards. 26 penalty points are distributed after the round. Once a player reaches the maximum number of penalty points for the game or goes over, the game is over.

This is just a tidbit of what it would be like to play American Hearts. The rules apply to most versions of the game whether cards or the online version of Hartenjagen. This game has become very popular over the years and will continue to be a game of fun and adventure for all.
