What is King Of Hearts Card Game?

King of Hearts is a classic and easy 4-player card game that's been around for decades. It requires a standard 52 card deck with Kings high and Aces low. The goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards by playing them to the center piles without ending up with the dreaded King of Hearts or other penalty cards at the end.

Gameplay is straightforward - each player is dealt 13 cards to start. Players take turns playing cards one-by-one to the middle face up in 4 central piles, one for each suit. Numerical cards must follow suit, but face cards and Aces can be played freely on any pile. The first player to run out of cards wins the round.

Here's the catch - whoever ends up with the King of Hearts card loses and must mix the center piles together and take them. Other penalty cards like the Queen of Spades or Ace of Clubs can also hurt your chances. With some luck and strategy, avoid the dangerous cards and shed your cards carefully to be the first out.

King of Hearts is fun for kids and adults alike. The gameplay is simple but it still involves risk and keeping track of which cards are in play. It's lighthearted, conversations flow easily during downtime, and games are quick at around 15 minutes. Keep some paper handy to track scores between rounds!
