Hearts the Classic Card Game

A familiar deck. A fresh decision on every trick. Play Hearts and see how far careful timing can take you. In this classic card game, your aim is to finish with the lowest score. Follow the suit that was led when you can, think about the cards still in play, and avoid taking tricks that contain hearts or the queen of spades. It sounds simple until the cards in your hand force you to choose between two risky plays. WHY PLAY HEARTS? • Every hand mixes planning, timing and a little suspense. • The goal is easy to understand, while each trick gives you something new to consider. • A single card can change the shape of a round, so it pays to watch what has already been played. • The familiar rules make it easy to return for another game. PLAY YOUR WAY Take on AI opponents offline when you want a game without an internet connection, or play online when you want to face other players. Make your place at the table your own with an avatar. And if you are ready for a bigger risk, try to Shoot the Moon by taking every penalty card in a hand. HOW A ROUND UNFOLDS Players take turns playing a card. When possible, you follow the suit of the first card played in the trick. The trick goes to the highest card of that suit. Taking a trick can also mean taking its penalty cards, so the strongest card is not always the one you want to play. Whether you already know Hearts or are discovering it for the first time, settle in, read the table and see if you can keep your score low through the final hand.
