Most Hearts players place 100 points as the agreed-upon score ceiling for the game. Once hit by one of the players, the game ends, and the lowest-scoring player wins.

Setting Up
To set up the game, remove the three and four of clubs and the two and three of diamonds. This way, each player gets eight cards each.

One player must deal the cards face down and clockwise to each player.

Card Passing
After receiving their hand, the players must choose two cards to pass along. The passing rotation in 6-player Hearts goes like this:

In the first deal, all players pass two cards face down to the player on their left. They’ll then receive two cards from the person on their right.

By the second deal, the rotation reverses. Each player will pass two cards to their right and get the two cards from their left.

Third hand/deal pass the cards two players to the left, etc.
