hearts
Valentines feature them
Hearts are the plural of heart—the organ, the shape, or the seat of emotion.
In cards, hearts is one of the four suits, marked by red heart symbols.
Hearts is also a trick-taking card game where players try to avoid winning hearts and especially the queen of spades: Let's play hearts after dinner. (Capitalized Hearts may refer to the Scottish football club.)
