Penelope Armond: You can play both Hearts and Spades with three players:SPADES: http://www.pagat.com/boston/spades.html#threeHEARTSOther Numbers of PlayersThe game may be played with either three or five players. There are various ways of coping with the fact that the cards cannot all be dealt out equally to the players: 1.Deal 17 cards each to three players or 10 each to five players. The one or two remaining cards are ! called the kitty; they are placed in the middle of the table face down. The kitty cards should be dealt in the middle of the deal, not as the last card(s) - the last card should belong to the dealer, so that no damage is done if the dealer accidentally sees it while dealing. The player who takes the first trick (or alternatively, the first penalty point) takes the kitty and places the card(s) with his or her captured cards (the player may look at them first). If it happens that the 2 is in the kitty, the holder of the lowest club not in the kitty must lead it (if no one has the 2, ask if anyone has the 3, then the 4, and so on). 2.As in method 1 above, but the person who takes the first point or trick adds the kitty to their hand and discards an equal number of cards face down into their tricks. 3.With three players, remove the 2 from the deck, leaving 51 cards. With five players also remove the 2, and the holder of the 3 leads it to the first trick. In the 3 player gam! e, the passing may follow any one of these patterns: ·Left, r! ight, hold, repeat. ·Left, right, repeat. ·If you pass 4 cards instead of 3 you can also scatter by passing 2 cards to each other player. You could then include scattering in either of the above rotations. http://www.pagat.com/reverse/hearts.htmlWhen I was a kid, my friends and I often played a game called ‘I Doubt It.’ Easy to learn:http://www.pagat.com/beating/doubt.htmlNOTE: This is not a trick taking game, but fun nonetheless.OTHER CARD GAMES:http://www.pagat.com/alpha.html...Show more
