What Players are Saying “The best multiplayer Hearts game if you want to play with friends.” “The Hearts game is very well presented and fun to play. The best feature is the possibility to convey, via chat, one’s reactions to what has transpired or is about to transpire. That was genius!” “I love how I am able to play with my friends, and I really enjoy the user-friendly interface.” “Finally a cross platform Hearts app!” “I love that I can now play cards with my friends and family who live too far away to play in person. It is also great that we can play on different types of devices since nobody seems to have the same thing anymore.

Tactic is clearly aimed at other people players, since Bot hands don’t care how long a hand takes. All I can do, is Block them from playing in my future games, and/or quit. ### 3/5 — Suggestion feature needs to be totally *2020-12-26, version 2.4.1* When playing with friends even though you turn off the suggestion feature when the time for play runs out it still plays a card. It makes it not fair for other players. There should be some type of consequence for late play like instead of playing the smartest card play the worst card. This will push them to play and think and not wait on the computer to make their choice. ### 4/5 — I’m a poor loser! *2019-10-27, version 2.4.1* Fun pastime for me! Very happy it’s available ### 4/5 — Wordpass *2019-06-03, version 2.4.1* Totally agree with Roscoe9volt about the bad 4th hand you mostly are going to receive if you did well in the first three games. There should be a version with passing in EACH game. My best skill is not applicable 25 percent of the time. Otherwise, fantastic. ### 3/5 — Failure to police programmers *2019-05-03, version 2.4.1* I don't understand why they fail to pick up on programmers. All they have to do is watch the leaderboards. The other day the top player won 27 games in one day...not possible for a real player! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-01-15, version 2.4.1* Best hearts app ever ### 4/5 — Playoffs *2018-12-23, version 2.4.1* I think a playoff every quarter would be a great idea and easy to manage. Only players who have won x amount of chips can enter to keep volume down. ### 5/5 — Trickster Hearts is Awesome! *2018-09-19, version 2.4.1* I use Trickster Hearts to play remotely with three friends. It’s fantastic. ### 2/5 — Could be good but.... *2018-06-28, version 2.4.1* This game could be really great. It has a lot of good features, but, the computer player is horrible. Especially when you play team hearts,(which is fun). The computer gives away moons to the other team easily. You have absolutely no chance of winning if the other team consists of real people which makes it pointless to play. Also, for some reason, even if it says in the menu that there are games available with real players, it for some reason puts you in a table with all bots. If you leave it counts as a loss....that’s ridiculous. There should be an option to join a table ONLY if it consists of real players. Also I agree with the review that the game is rigged. If you’re doing well, you get the Queen and no other spades on the no pass, or something equally ridiculous. ## Frequently asked questions about Trickster Hearts ### How do I play Trickster Hearts with friends?
