Read full description

Hearts is a trick-taking card game for four players. Avoid capturing hearts and the dreaded Queen of Spades โ€” each heart scores one point against you, and the Queen costs a brutal 13. But if you're bold enough to capture every heart and the Queen in a single round, you Shoot the Moon, turning the tables on everyone else. The player with the lowest score when any player reaches 100 points wins. Smart AI, Real Challenge Three AI opponents with distinct personalities keep every game fresh. They adapt, they strategize, and they will not go easy on you. Whether you're a casual player or a seasoned Hearts veteran, you'll find a worthy opponent at the table. Beautiful by Design Choose from multiple card back designs โ€” each with its own unique style. Dress up the table with custom colors and textures. Make the game feel like yours.
