Barbu
Barbu (or Barbuda) is a four-player trick-taking card game of French origin.
You have to win less points than your opponents by avoiding tricks, hearts, queens and of course, the Barbu (the King of Hearts).
You might also be interested in a similar card game: Hearts.
Fun fact, 'Le barbu' literally means'the bearded' (man), and phonetically 'the barb' – a reference to the king of hearts' common depiction as a bearded monarch nonchalantly stabbing himself in the head.
