Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many people usually play a game of hearts with one deck?

Answer: 4

If you play with more, you'll need two decks of cards.
2. How many cards do you discard when you pass them to another player?

Answer: 3

Rather obviously, you try to get rid of what you don't want in your hand- high spade cards, for example.
3. Which card, if you take it, is worth 13 points?

Answer: The Queen of Spades

This is not a good thing in Hearts!
4. Which cards, if you take them, are worth 1 point each?

Answer: Hearts

That is, of course, how the game got its name.
5. In a popular rules variation, the player holding which card plays first?

Answer: The 2 of clubs

This is by no means universal- "eldest hand"- the first-dealt-to player- is another common variant.
6. What is it called when someone manages to collect every trick that is worth points?

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.
7. What card will always take a trick?

Answer: The highest card in the suit led

The ace is the high card in Hearts.
8. To how many points is a usual Hearts game played?

Answer: 100

Variations are possible for a longer or shorter game.
9. What is the proper passing order for discards?

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

So, for one of four hands, you must keep what you were dealt!
10. What is a hold hand?

Answer: A hand where you do not discard any cards

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