They’re very old fashioned these days, trick taking card games. When I was a kid, they’d put Hearts…puzzles in the newspaper, and ask what move should player X make in order to take the tricks with the information it gave you.
They were also mentioned a fair deal in Pride and Prejudice. People played them while chatting.
Might jus be less popular in the anglosphere. We have a lot of games here where you collect štihi (from german Stich) and everyone knows what is meant if you use the word.
Well, I’ve changed my comment to use that, but on my client I just see the entire comment, no spoiler boxes so no idea if it worked! Hopefully for others!

Huh, that’s super interesting, I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it, thank you for sharing!
Hope you have a lovely day 😊

Winning a trick is like winning a round. It’s just a card game term. I don’t think it’s so much old fashioned, more that card games are less popular.

I think of them as old fashioned because in my childhood people my grandmother’s age played them, and she was born in like the 1910s.
They just are not a thing people younger than me seem to even know.
There use to be bridge clubs and such but just not a thing here anymore

Somewhat relevant
Spades is still popular in some circles, I haven’t played in a minute though. It’s been even longer since I’ve played Skat.
I’ve seen bridge in papers but never hearts.

For me the spoiler tags and text that’s supposed to be in the spoiler are all on the same line
In order to work I think they each need to be on separate lines
