About Hearts
Hearts is the classic four-player trick-taking game, and here you take on three computer opponents. Every trick, players follow the suit that was led if they can; the highest card of that suit wins the trick - and any penalty cards in it. Each heart costs 1 point and the Queen of Spades costs a painful 13, so the whole game is about ducking points and steering them onto everyone else. Hearts can’t be led until one has been played, and you can even try to “shoot the moon” by taking every penalty card. The game runs to 100 points, lowest score wins. No signup.
Frequently asked questions
Four players each play one card per trick. You must follow the suit that was led if you can; the highest card of the led suit wins the trick and collects any penalty cards in it. The aim is to avoid taking points - each heart is worth 1 and the Queen of Spades is worth 13.
Hearts can’t be led until they have been “broken” - until a heart has been played on an earlier trick because someone couldn’t follow suit. Until then you must lead another suit if you hold one.
If a single player takes every penalty card - all 13 hearts and the Queen of Spades - they score 0 for the round and all three opponents get 26 points instead. Risky but it can swing the game.
Each heart you take is 1 point and the Queen of Spades is 13, for 26 points in every round. Points accumulate across rounds, and because they’re penalties you want as few as possible.
The game ends as soon as any player reaches 100 points. At that moment the player with the lowest total score wins.
