Adding variants to Hearts

[Call me Ishmael]

I would like to request that some common variants of hearts be added.

Firstly, I would like to request that common house rule be added, That playing the Queen of Spades ♠ breaks hearts, and hearts can be led thereafter.

THE PLAY, third paragraph under that heading.

Another variation I would like to see is alternate scoring systems:

1. 159 scale (500 or 750 point game instead of 75 or 100)
   • QS = 50
   • AH = 25
   • Court card hearts = 10 each
   • Other hearts = face value
   • Shooting the moon = 159
2. 124 scale (300 or 500 point game)
   • QS = 25
   • AH = 15
   • Court card hearts = 10 each
   • Other hearts = face value
   • Shooting the moon = 159

Another variation I've heard of (but never played) is that taking the trick containing JD scores negative points (bonus rather than penalty), generally 10.
