Hearts Trivia Questions
1. With only three players, the dealer will find there's one extra card. What USUALLY happens to this extra card?

From Quiz Advanced Hearts Strategy and Terminology

Answer: It is set aside as the "hole card"

Placed into the dealer's hand (or anyone's hand) would make the game unbalanced. Instead, the extra card is dealt to the side face-down as a "hole card". The hole card remains unknown until the first point is broken and then only the person who takes that first point is the one who gets to see it. This can shoot holes through the strategy of someone who counts cards. If the Two of Clubs is in the hole, it is removed from the hole and the Three of Clubs leads.

2. How many people usually play a game of hearts with one deck?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: 4

If you play with more, you'll need two decks of cards.

3. What, exactly, is a "bail card"?

From Quiz Advanced Hearts Strategy and Terminology

Answer: A low-ranked card to help you get out of the lead

Bail cards are cards such as the Three of Clubs and the Two of Diamonds, which you know the others can't duck under. In some strategies, it's a good idea to lead a bail card when you know the holder of the Queen of Spades has none in that suit.

4. How many cards do you discard when you pass them to another player?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: 3

Rather obviously, you try to get rid of what you don't want in your hand- high spade cards, for example.

5. Which card, if you take it, is worth 13 points?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: The Queen of Spades

This is not a good thing in Hearts!

6. Which cards, if you take them, are worth 1 point each?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: Hearts

That is, of course, how the game got its name.

7. In a popular rules variation, the player holding which card plays first?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: The 2 of clubs

This is by no means universal- "eldest hand"- the first-dealt-to player- is another common variant.

8. Congratulations, you just shot the moon! But if you add 26 points to everyone's score, one person will go over 100 and you'll end up in second place. What other option do you have?

From Quiz Advanced Hearts Strategy and Terminology

Answer: Subtract 26 from your own score

If you shoot the moon and you're near 100, you might want to consider dropping your own score by 26. It'll make the game last longer and give you a fighting chance for the win. Now if you can only do that again...

9. What is it called when someone manages to collect every trick that is worth points?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: Shooting the moon

This usually allows the person to choose to either subtract 26 points from his score or add 26 points to everyone else's score.

10. Uh-oh, it looks like Lady Luck hasn't been on your side. You have 97 points... but at the end of the hand, it looks like you took only three points. Hooray! According to certain rules, what is your score now?

From Quiz Advanced Hearts Strategy and Terminology

Answer: 50

By some rules, if you reach 100 exactly you drop back down to 50. This rule is great to implement if you want to make the game last a while... it adds a bit of strategy, a bit of card-counting, and a lot of luck to the game.

11. What card will always take a trick?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: The highest card in the suit led

The ace is the high card in Hearts.

12. To how many points is a usual Hearts game played?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: 100

Variations are possible for a longer or shorter game.

13. I'll bid nil... wait, wrong game. After passing, you have the 2-5 of Clubs, the 2-5 of Spades, the 2-5 of Diamonds, and the Two of Hearts. Sounds pretty, doesn't it? What is the most amount of points you could take this hand?

From Quiz Advanced Hearts Strategy and Terminology

Answer: 26

Don't write that 0 down on your score just yet. If you have all the low cards, odds are someone else has all the high cards. Without any power, you can't stop someone else from shooting the moon.

14. What is the proper passing order for discards?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: To the left, to the right, across, hold

So, for one of four hands, you must keep what you were dealt!

15. What term is used when you have no cards in a certain suit?

From Quiz Advanced Hearts Strategy and Terminology

Answer: Void

Being void of Hearts, while not good in the game of love, is often good in the game of Hearts. Depending on the level of power you have in the other suits, you might well be able to shoot the moon. In my experience, it's best to trick your opponents by voiding yourself of all but one or two of a suit. They'll play it once, think it'll go around again, and you drop a point on them during that second trick. Oh well, the first rule in any card game is to have fun!

16. What is a hold hand?

From Quiz The Game of Hearts

Answer: A hand where you do not discard any cards

Of course, it's always the one that has the worst cards...
