How to score Hearts
After each hand, players count the penalty cards in the tricks they took. Every heart is 1 point and the queen of spades is 13, so each hand hands out 26 points in total.
Shooting the moon: if one player takes all thirteen hearts and the queen of spades, they score 0 and everyone else takes 26. Enter 0 for them and 26 for the others.
The game ends when any player reaches 100. The player with the lowest score wins, so in Tally the shortest tower is the one to watch.
Questions
Do I need an app or an account?
No. Tally runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop. Add it to your home screen if you play often. There's nothing to sign up for.
What happens if I close the page mid-game?
The game is saved on this device after every round. Open Tally again and you're back where you left off, scores, dealer and all.
I typed a score wrong. Can I fix it?
Tap any round in the scorepad to change it, or use Undo right after adding it. Totals, the leader and the dealer update straight away.
Can I play a game that isn't listed?
Pick Custom and set the rules: end at a target score, after a number of rounds, or never, and whether the highest or lowest score wins. Negative scores work too.
