Some score this as 52 points with the scoring handled in the same as shooting the moon. There are variations on the choice of scores for shooting the moon. For some people, reaching certain scores has a special effect. If a player reaches or exceeds 100 points and there is a tie for low score, additional hands may be played until there is a clear winner. There are two ways that four players can play hearts in fixed partnerships, partners sitting opposite each other.
Partners keep their tricks together.
On each hand your team scores the total number of penalty points you have taken in your tricks. A slam occurs if one team takes all 14 penalty cards in a hand, they can choose give the opponents 26 penalty points or to subtract 26 penalty points from their own score. Thus it is possible for your team to win even if it is you who go over 100. For example you have 105, your partner has 34, and your opponents have 78 and 69, then your team wins by 139 points to 147. The game may be played with either three or five players.
