- 1). Shuffle and deal in a clockwise direction a standard deck of 52 playing cards with no jokers.
- 2). Deal out all the cards until each player has 13.
- 3). Take three cards from your hand and lay them facedown on the table before the first hand is played. Pass them to the player on your left.
- 4). Pick up the three cards that were passed to you by the person on your right.
- 5). Lead the 2 of clubs if you're holding it. Otherwise, play a club when it's your turn, going clockwise around the table.
- 6). Pick up the trick if your card was the highest-numbered card in the suit that was led - which means that you won the trick.
- 7). Lead the next trick if you won the first one. This time, you can lead with any suit.
- 8). Follow suit if you didn't win the first trick. That is, play the suit that someone else leads.
- 9). Play a heart (or another card of a different suit) only if a player leads a suit that you don't have.

Lead with a heart only after someone plays a heart because he or she couldn't follow suit. - 11
Continue playing until all 13 tricks have been played. - 12
Count up the points - 1 for each heart and 13 for the queen of spades - from the tricks you took. - 13
Write your score and the other players' scores on a notepad. - 14
Let the person to your left deal the next hand. - 15
Repeat Steps 3 through 13. - 16
End the game when one person has reached or exceeded 100 points. The player with the lowest score at that point wins.
