Hearts strategy starts with the passing stage. The pass can be used to void a suit but this may not be the best strategy as the void may be filled with (higher) cards passed in; this is especially dangerous with spades and hearts. Passing high clubs and diamonds, even voiding these suits is perceived by many to be the best passing strategy.

The scoring in hearts is very simple to understand. Every heart that you take is worth one penalty point and the queen of spades is worth 13 penalty points. In every deck a total of 26 points will be divided up among the players, with one exception. If a player manages to take all of the hearts and the Queen of spades (which is known as a slam or shooting the moon), all other players' scores are increased by 26 points.
