I've made an own game that's basically the opposite of hearts. It's called diamonds. In the Deck the cards 2-5 are taken out. For 4 players 9 cards are dealt to each and for 3 players 12 cards each. Passing over cards is taken out. Trick taking is basically the same: But the 6 of clubs starts. The Hearts are trump. And the diamonds need to be broken to lead a trick. The main difference is in the points at the end of the round. People want to get the points because the first one to get 100 wins. Every trick is worth 1 point. Every diamond (except the queen) is worth 2 points. Every Queen is worth 4 points as long as you have one. If you have more than one queen, each one of them is worth - 4 points.
Great explanation video! Thank you!!

Sounds fun!
@@riffleshuffleandroll It is fun. I've had so many ideas for own card games. And I often make game nights with friends to try them out.
Always loved this game
It’s a classic for sure. :)
There’s also a rule that you missed. It’s that the queen of spades and hearts are not allowed in the first trick of any hand.

There’s also shooting the sun: the player took every single trick in the round. He gets 0, and the rest get 52 points each.
That is a fun rule. :)
