You win at Hearts through skill, not chance. It's an easy game to learn, but the fine points rely on team play. Joseph Andrews, a leading Hearts authority, tells what you should know about these popular variations: Cutthroat, Partnership, Three-Handed, Jack of Diamonds. Andrews explains such fine points as the proper cards to pass from various Hearts or Spade combinations, how to defend against attempted Slams ("Moonshots"), and why saving key high cards can make it easier to "strip" a hand of entries, thus enabling a player to escape without taking the dreaded Queen of Spades.
