DAVY’S HEARTS
Davy’s Hearts is a simple card game where you try to avoid
collecting cards from the hearts family suit.
When you join a game you buy a pot for a set amount of
loot, for example 100 gold pieces. Every time you collect a
heart you lose a gold piece to the central pot. For example,
the 4 of hearts would cost you four gold. The game is over
when one player loses all the gold in their pot.
HOW TO PLAY DAVY’S HEARTS
At the start of the game, each player is automatically dealt
13 cards, called a hand.
At the start of each round you must pass three cards from
your hand to another player. You will automatically receive
three different cards back in turn.
Move the blue cursor across the cards you want to give away
and press the
button to select each one. When all three
cards have been selected they are ‘passed’ to another player
in a specific sequence.
The order for passing the three cards is:
Round 1
Pass cards to the player’s right
Round 2
Pass cards to the player’s left
Round 3
Pass cards to the player opposite
Round 4
No passing. Player keeps the cards they have
Repeat
Back to round one and repeat
The player holding the 2 of clubs card starts the game by
playing that card. To play this or any card, move the blue
cursor across your hand and select a card with the
button.
Players then take turns to play their own card by going
clockwise around the table - this pile of cards is called the
trick. When a player has played a card you must select a card
of the same suit from your hand. Other cards will not be
available to select at this time. If you have no cards of the
same suit only then you can choose any card. See ‘Rules for
Davy’s Hearts’ on page 20.
Every time you collect a heart you lose a gold piece to the
central pot. The game is over when one player loses all their
gold to the central pot.
At that point, the remaining players each automatically
take a percentage of the central pot. Your percentage is
determined by how much gold you have left in your own
pot. The player who lost all of their gold gets nothing.
