play till the end, please don't RSVP.

If you do not know how to play, please make sure to download any free Hearts app to your smart phone to familiarize yourself with the game. Newbies are welcome.

We need a minimum 12 players for this event. I'll be adding people from the waitlist in groups of 2. All I ask if that you confirm, that if you can't make it, please give a minimum 1 day advance notice or more, so that we can be assured of getting multiples of 4. If we have an odd number, we will play a game with 3 or 5 players. Again .... cancelling an hour before the event is not a good thing and will yield you a no show without a good excuse.

GAMEPLAY

Each game will have 4 players (or 3 or 5). Beginners are welcome - please indicate in RSVP whether you know how to play Hearts or not. Hearts is an individual game, where you will play against three other players in a game.

Please be cognizant that I will do my utmost to have a multiple of four people show, so please do your utmost to show up if you have RSVP'd, as we are counting on you.

Expectation is that we will start shortly after 6:30 PM and play a minimum of 3 games. Please try to be on time.

We will endeavor to have a small round robin tourney with a minimum 3 games, and the winning player will get a small prize and the right to hold the winning "trophy" for a two week period :)

NO SHOWS

We have had a couple of instances where participants have decided at the last moment to not show. If you decide to not show, it can affect up to 3 other players. Sometimes circumstances make it impossible to show up, I realize our lives are complicated, but if this happens you need to mark your RSVP. Anyone not showing or cancelling day of without a good excuse will be marked as a no show - I'm very sorry for having to state this.
