Hearts: Tips, Tricks, Cheats

Hearts

Play the world's favorite card game, Hearts, now on your smartphone or tablet! Dive into this challenging and lively trick-taking card game, where you'll test your wits against smart AI opponents. Hearts is an "evasion-type" game, meaning your primary goal is to score fewer points than your adversaries. The game concludes when any player exceeds 100 points, and the player with the lowest score at that moment is crowned the winner.

Hearts is straightforward to learn, but truly mastering its nuances against the "perfect memory" Coppercod AIs is a significant challenge. Track your all-time and session statistics to witness your improvement over time, and push your logic and strategy to the limits by switching to hard mode!

"Small Hearts" Variant:

Looking for a quicker game? Switch to "Small Hearts," a streamlined 32-card version where the 2 through 7 of each suit are removed from the deck. The game ends when the first player exceeds 50 points, offering a fast-paced challenge for all Hearts fans!

Quickfire Rules Overview:

The aim is to score fewer points by avoiding specific "Trick cards" (Hearts and the Queen of Spades). After the deal, each player passes three cards to an opponent. The player with the 2 of Clubs starts the game. Players must follow suit if possible; if not, they can play any card (including point cards, except on the first trick). Hearts cannot be led until "Hearts are Broken" (a heart card has been played when a player could not follow suit). At the end of each hand, the value of collected Trick cards is added to each player's total score.
