Unwrapping the Fun: The Christmas Hearts Card Game Guide for Players

One of the great things about the festive season is that you can put a seasonal spin on everything! For example, a Christmas Jumper can brighten up your next work meeting, and you have ample excuse to enjoy festive treats on a daily basis.

However, the fun does not have to stop there! For example, we've even given our Classic Hearts game a fun, festive twist!

Festive Fun with Christmas Hearts

Our Festive Hearts Game is the same game you know and love, but with a fun, thematic twist! Featuring festive shades of red and green and unique card designs, this is a great way to step into the holiday spirit.

How to Play Christmas Hearts

Fortunately, the change in theme does not bring forth any changes to the rules or how the game is played.

1. Cards are dealt out automatically to all four 'players.'
2. Players select three cards to pass on to the player to their left.
3. The first trick begins, and players must match the set of the first card put down. The card of the highest value wins the trick.
4. Points are acquired when heart cards (worth one point each) are picked up during a trick OR when the Queen of Spades is picked up (worth thirteen points)
5. The game ends when a player reaches 100 points. At this point, the player with the lowest score wins.

Strategies for Winning

There are many different ways in which you can increase your chances of success when playing the Christmas Hearts Card Game!

• Pay attention to which cards have already been played. This can help you to predict your opponent's next move.
• Research different playing styles and find the one you feel the most comfortable with.
• Avoid getting rid of your heart cards when passing cards to a player, especially if they are lower-value cards.
