Editing Hearts (card game) (section)

=== Royal Hearts ===
''Royal Hearts'' was a commercial variant of the game produced in the early 2000s by [[Parker Brothers]], now owned by [[Hasbro]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/Royal_Hearts_Card_Game.pdf |title=Royal Hearts Instructions (PDF)}}</ref> The variant encompasses special card effects from other variants like Omnibus, assigned to the four Queens. The {{cards|Qs}} is worth 26 penalty points, double its typical point value in Black Lady, while the {{cards|Qh}} doubles the point value of all Heart cards captured by that player (including the {{cards|Qh}} itself), thus allowing for 52 potential penalty points per hand. Mitigating these, the {{cards|Qd}} reduces a player's total score by 10 (but not below zero), similar to Omnibus's use of the {{cards|10d}} or {{cards|Jd}}, while the {{cards|Qc}} negates the penalty of the {{cards|Qs}} if captured by the same player during the same hand. Shooting the moon is possible, and allows either subtracting the hand score (including the effects of other Queens) from the total score, or adding that score to all other players' totals.
