Wrong rules?

This game doesn’t seem to follow normal hearts rules. You can play the queen of spades on the first hand and it seems like sometimes the cards go to the high card played and not the lead suit.

Ads & Incorrect rules

As many have mentioned before there’s a TON of ads…after every round of play and after you want to start a new round. That last is infuriating as you have to sift through to rounds of ads after finishing a game.
Secondly…this game allows for the queen of spades to be played in the opening hand of a game…which is always infuriating. Never seen that happen in any version of hearts. Otherwise the interface is enjoyable. If this gameplay bug doesn’t get fixed though I’ll almost certainly end of going back to other hearts games

ADS! ADS! ADS!

The ADS are out of control! ADS after every round! You have to sit through more ads than actual game play. For such a basic, and I mean basic, set up the ads are insane! I downloaded these games for the donations you made to Ryan, but I’m done playing them. WILD!

easy game

this game is super easy to navigate and lots of fun.

Tons of ads and a weird ruleset

The layout and general gameplay is quite good and well thought out, but it’s ruined by two things.

First, after the first few hands there are so many ads - one after every hand. Not game, hand. It gets incredibly obnoxious very quickly.

Also, there’s no way to change any of the rules (e.g. passing, jack of diamonds variation, point goal, etc.) and it straight up breaks a fairly essential and very common one, the no blood on the first hand rule. The AI is also questionable at best, it often seems like it tries to shoot the moon even when someone else already has a heart.

It’s a weird mix of very well thought out in a lot of ways while being weirdly designed and almost too simple to be playable for more than a few games.
