=== Omnibus Hearts === In 1950, Culbertson reported that Omnibus Hearts was "rapidly becoming the most popular of Hearts games" and was so called because it included all the features found in different members of the Hearts family and Arnold states that it is "sufficiently different and popular" to justify being described as a separate game."{{sfn|Arnold|1995|p=141}} In effect, Omnibus Hearts is really a variant of Black Lady where the bonus card of {{cards|10d}} is included which earns 10 plus points for the player who takes it in a trick. A similar sub-variant often called the "Jack of Diamonds rule" gives this effect to the {{cards|Jd}} instead.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trickstercards.com/home/help/HowToPlay.aspx?file=hearts-basics.html |title=Hearts Basics - Trickster Cards}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/hearts-card-game |title=Hearts - Rules, Strategy and Tips - Britannica}}</ref> A player who takes all fifteen counters ({{cards|10d}}, {{cards|Qs}} and thirteen hearts), scores 26 plus points for the deal and the rest score zero (noting that in Culbertson's Black Lady rules, what is now called shooting the moon results in no player scoring for that deal).{{sfn|Culbertson|1950|p=245}} Arnold (2011) states that Omnibus Hearts is considered the best version of Hearts by many players. He refers to the [[capture (cards)|capture]] of all counting cards as "hitting the moon, take-all or slam". The game ends when a player reaches or exceeds 100 penalty points, whereupon the player with the lowest score wins.{{sfn|Arnold|2011|p=}}
