=== Greek Hearts === Greek Hearts is a name given to at least three different variants. In the earliest version, which Phillips and Westall (1939) say is widely played in Greece hence why they call it "Greek Hearts", the {{cards|Qs}} scores 50 penalty points, the {{cards|Ah}} scores 15, the courts score 10 and the remaining pip cards of the Hearts suit score their face value. A player taking all the penalty cards scores 150, that is, gets paid 150 points by each opponent. There is "a great deal more in the game than there is in '[[Slippery Anne]]'" (Black Lady).{{sfn|Phillips|Westall|1939|pp=106β136}} Meanwhile, Culbertson (1950) describes it as the game of Black Lady with three changes: three cards are always passed to the right, the {{cards|Jd}} counts as 10 plus points and a heart card may not be led to the first trick of the game.{{sfn|Culbertson|1950|p=245}} Maguire's version (1990) is essentially Spot Hearts with passing to the left{{sfn|Maguire|1990|p=65}} and Parlett (2008) has a similar scoring system to the original, with the {{cards|Qs}} valued at 50 penalty points, the {{cards|Ah}} at 15, courts 10 each, but the remaining hearts as only 1 each.{{sfn|Parlett|2008|p=140}}
