Experience the classic trick-taking card game, Hearts, now playable online against smart AI opponents! Outsmart your rivals by managing your hand, planning every trick carefully, and dodging penalty cards especially the dreaded Queen of Spades. Aim for the lowest score across rounds, or risk it all to "Shoot the Moon" and claim ultimate victory!
Hearts is a trick-taking card game where four players use strategy and hand management to avoid winning penalty cards—specifically Hearts and the Queen of Spades—in order to finish with the lowest overall score.
The main goal in Hearts is to finish the game with the lowest overall score by avoiding penalty points—specifically by avoiding taking Hearts (1 point each) and the Queen of Spades (13 points). Alternatively, you can achieve a special goal called "Shooting the Moon": if you intentionally capture all 13 Hearts AND the Queen of Spades in a single hand, you get 0 points while giving 26 penalty points to every opponent.
Hearts is fun because it turns simple card play into a tense mind game where you constantly dodge high-penalty traps like the Queen of Spades, outsmart opponents with precise timing, or pull off high-stakes comeback plays like "Shooting the Moon."
