Description
The BEST Hearts game on the App Store!
This is the classic trick-taking game, clean and simple. In this card game, try to avoid the Hearts and the Queen of Spades, or take all of them to Shoot the Moon. How low can you score? On the Hard level of difficulty, Marie, Nikola and Albert are really, really smart! Don't worry, though, you can change their names and the difficulty.

- Options for choosing player names and rule variants

HOW TO PLAY
1. Each hand begins with choosing 3 cards to pass to another player (every 4th hand there is no passing).
2. Each hand, the player with the 2 of Clubs must use it to lead the first trick.
3. The other players must play a card of the suit that was led if possible.
4. The player who played the highest card (Aces are high) of the suit led takes that trick and leads the next.
5. Hearts cannot be led unless (A) a Heart was already played (Hearts Broken), OR (B) there is no alternative.
6. When no cards remain, players are awarded points according to the cards in the tricks taken.
7. Each Heart is worth 1 point and the Queen of Spades is worth 13 points.
8. A player who takes all 26 points (Shot the Moon) scores 0 points while the other 3 players get 26 points each.
9. After the points have been added, a new hand begins. This continues until a player has reached 100 points.
10. The player with the lowest score at the end of the game is the winner.
WARNING
This game can be very addictive. If you play for long periods of time, move your body position on a regular basis to reduce the risk of injury. Enjoy responsibly!

Ratings and Reviews
Really like this new version of hearts
The score is improved and like it how easy it is to change the names. Overall definitely various improvements
more AI needed
Fun, but spade lead after being handed Black Maria, predictable move, never varies.
No idea, or at least not much of an idea when to sacrifice to prevent Moon Shot; ie 4 hearts n never suffered early to prevent 26points taken later. Like earler version I do not think Spades are counted, ie opposition does not lead Qspades when count of cards played means the singular spade remaing is either the K or Ace to take it. Have not had chance to check latest version, forgot the last time I could have. So, I can still win 8 or 9/10 games unless tired or drunk.
Clean Simple Fun
I've looked around a bit for a good Hearts game, and so far this is by the best. Most of the hearts games I've seen available for OSX have cluttered overdone interfaces, unneccessary 3D and other such silliness. This version has a good looking simple interface and good AI, which is what you want in a card game. Well done!
