I played a round of hearts with my group. I vaguely remembered playing it in the past, and I was able to relearn the rules and teach the others how to play pretty quickly. I was actually very surprised with how many memories of the game came back while we played, and I was remembering all my old tricks and tactics. Also, it was interesting to see the mistakes the other players made while still learning the rules. For example, while I did explain the queen of spades being worth 13 points, the full weight and implications of that fact were not understood by the others. Even in the second round we played, some still didn't understand how critical it is to not have high spades. However, after each mistake, it was clear they were getting more drawn into the game as they learned what not to do. By the end, I was in full force, strategizing about the optimal cards to play, and I know that the other players were as well. Hearts ended up being a great, fun game for us to have played.
The following is a direct session report of our round and a half of hearts. Each player's play is recorded, then the winner of the trick is listed along with how many points they won. One notable moment would be the last trick of the first round. I (P4) played the Queen of Spades to start the trick, and another player actually had the King of Spades in hand so I didn't end up taking it. I think this nicely demonstrates the fact that the other players are still learning about the Queen of Spades as I mentioned earlier.
