Where to begin?
I'm not sure which version of Hearts the author plays, but the descriptions sound like it's a mish-mash of a bunch of different card games.On page 13: "In Hearts, the suit of hearts is considered the trump suit, which means that any heart card played in a trick is considered higher than any card of another suit." Bridge has trump suits, not Hearts.Page 25: "You decide to pass the King, Queen and Jack of Hearts to one opponent, and the Ace of Diamonds and a low card to another." In which version of Hearts do you pass five cards to two different players in one turn?Page 50: You "don't want to risk your opponents folding" if you want to "win the pot." How exactly do you "fold" in Hearts? And what pot? Did we segue into Poker?We won't even get into the description of Shooting the Moon, in which the successful shooter gets 26 points and the opponents each get zero. It's exactly the opposite. The successful player gets zero and each opponent 26. The author seems to forget that the aim in Hearts is to score the fewest points. How else to explain "By keeping the Queen of Spades, you can prevent your opponents from winning the trick that contains it." The Queen of Spades is the deadliest card in the deck! You WANT your opponent to win it!On the plus side, the book is attractive enough and I didn't see any obvious typos.
