From BoardGameGeek
Zero to Hero is a tile-based trick-taking game for 3-5 players. The twists in the game are that you can either win or lose points for winning a trick. You can also win or lose points if you are second in a trick. Who wins or comes second is not always the player who plays the highest value tile; it's actually determined by summing the values of each played suit, then seeing who played the highest tile of the strongest suit. To add some fun to the mix, you can win a trick with a 2 if you are the only player to play a tile of that suit. Finally, if the game is going really badly for you and you end a hand with exactly zero points, then you can win the game outright if in the next hand, you win five or more points - from zero to hero! -description from the publisher
