1. Loose Change Card Game Rules

Deal out an entire deck of cards. Pick one person to be the dealer and have them hand out a deck of 52 playing cards, face-down and one at a time, to each person going clockwise. This game can be played with anywhere from three to eight people.

Depending on the amount of players, the cards may be dealt unequally. To solve this, switch dealers each round so that everyone has a round with the lowest or highest amount of cards. As long as the dealer switches clockwise and each dealer hands out cards going clockwise, the pattern will repeat fairly.

Arrange your hand in order of suit and numerical order. To help keep yourself focused, organize the hand dealt to you. You want to arrange the cards first by suit, and then in numerical order. It’s best to start with any twos on the far left and run them up to the ace on the far right. A whole run will look like this: 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A. The four suits are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. Alternating the colors of the suits in your hand will also make it easier to find cards to play.

Start each round with the seven of diamonds. Whoever has the seven of diamonds lays it down on the table. When a seven of any suit is played it starts a 'layout.' A layout is made by laying cards down one by one next to the seven in sequential order. You will have four layouts total, one for each suit. As the game continues, the only way a suit layout can be started on the table is if someone plays a seven. Some variations of this game select the person to the left of the dealer to go first, regardless of who has the seven of diamonds.

Take turns putting one card down at a time. Each person puts down one card on their turn, but it has to be the next card in relation to the ones already on the table. For example, the next cards played after a seven will either be the six or the eight in that suit. Going in order from the seven means you will play cards that descend to the two card of that suit on the left-hand side of the seven and on the right-hand side, the card values will ascend to the ace.

For example, if you have a jack of hearts, you can’t play that card until someone has played the ten of hearts on the table. You can only put cards of the same suit together. If a seven of hearts is on the table, you can only play a six of hearts next to it, not a six of spades. ”Knock” when you cannot play any cards.

Knocking the table is one way to say that you are passing on your turn. Or instead, you can just say “pass.” You may pass when you don’t have any cards that are playable. For instance, if there are only fives through nines on the table and all you have left are twos and face cards.

It is against the rules to pass on a turn if you have a card that can be played anywhere on the table. If playing with poker chips, one penalty you can use is that if someone passes when they had cards to play, they have to put three chips in the pot. Continue playing until someone runs out of cards. Go around the table, each putting one card down, until someone plays their last card.

They are the winner of that round, and if you’re only playing one round then they are the winner of the game. Collect all 52 of the cards and start a new round or game. You can play several rounds within one game to play longer or just play a quick game while killing time.

You have several options for choosing the next dealer. One option is that the person to the left of the original dealer is now the new dealer. The other option is to have the winner deal the cards, or the person to the left of them. All that matters is that each person gets a chance to deal the cards.

The usual number of Hearts players is four (three, five, and six may also play, but we won’t consider those variants here). It’s every man (or woman) for himself. Hearts uses the standard 52-card pack. The cards in each suit rank from the ace (the highest) to the 2 (the lowest).

There are no trumps. The deal rotates clockwise, as does the play of the cards. The entire pack is dealt, one card at a time. Players may discard three cards by passing them to the player on their left. (You must pass these cards before you can look at the ones you’ll be receiving.) The player with the 2 of clubs opens the game. In Hoyle Card Games, passing can rotate or be dispensed with, and the player to the dealer’s left can open. Whichever card is led first, the other players must try to follow suit.

A trick is won by the highest card in the suit led. The winner of a trick makes the next lead. The object of play is to avoid taking hearts in tricks, as each heart counts as one point against the player taking it. The queen of spades (the Black Lady or Black Maria) counts as 13. However, you could try to take all the hearts and the Black Lady. This is called Shooting the Moon, and, if you pull it off, you hand your opponents a whopping 26 points each. Hearts cannot be led until they’ve been broken, that is, thrown into a previous trick by a player who couldn’t follow suit.

When a player equals or breaks 100 points, the game is over, and the player with the lowest score at that time is the winner. Strategies The queen of spades rules the game of Hearts. To ignore the queen is to court humiliation and risk defeat.

Consideration of the queen should begin before play starts, during the passing phase. Any high spades (Q, K, A) are dangerous if they are not protected by several lower spades. However, it can be fatal to be short on low cards in a particular suit, especially later in the game. Using the last example, say a few hands have passed, and you still have the 8, 10, queen, and king of clubs. After the ace and 9 are played, you happily throw down your queen, and the top player takes the trick with the ace.

However, the player to your right threw down the jack of clubs. You now have the three highest clubs (8, 10, K). What happens after that could be destructive. Players will be running out of clubs, and next time someone leads in clubs, they’ll paint you with hearts or stick you with the queen of spades.

Guarded high-cards should be saved until later in the game, especially if they are hearts. This will help to prevent someone from successfully Shooting the Moon. If the player who receives your discards likes to Shoot the Moon, you may wish to pass them a low heart. This may discourage them from making the attempt in the first place.
