Description
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.

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.

Ratings and Reviews
Frozen
Enjoy a good deal about the game but it has been literally frozen for several days. Haven’t found a way to “thaw” it to be able to continue.

Hi, glad to hear you've been enjoying it, but that shouldn't be happening! Please email us at support@neverboredstudios.com so we can take a closer look and help you out. Cheers.
Graphics need improvement
I enjoy playing Hearts but could not continue with this version, unfortunately. There is quite a lot of room for improvement in the visual aspects of the game. I’ve played some other Hearts games where the use of color, player emoji, and spacing goes a long way to offer a more pleasurable player experience. For Seniors, these things also help to minimize confusion. For example, simply coloring each card suit differently will avoid accidentally selecting the wrong card. Like green for clubs, blue for diamonds, black for spades and red for hearts would distinguish the card suits from one another. Also, the use of sound could greatly enhance the user experience. These are just a few examples for GUI improvements I hope you might consider. I’ll check back down the road to see if the game is updated with Improved interface.

Thanks for the feedback. We just wanted to let you know that making it easier to distinguish the suit symbols is at the top of our list of things to address with our next update. Thanks for playing and do keep your eyes open for the next version. Cheers.
Hearts for Hearts Players
This hearts game is by far the best available for serious Hearts fans. The layout is elegant (no crazy graphics, meaningfully customizable, clean and easy to navigate).
Most importantly, the best programming strategy I've seen in Hearts…ever.
Is there room for improvement? After having played thousands of games over several years, yes. But they don't take away from the value of this smartly produced game as it is. I will submit my suggestions for potential improvements directly. I like that the publisher is always looking to improve the game, but is cautious not to add silly graphics and game features.
If you’re a Hearts fan…this is the app to have.
Probably the top request on my list will be to have an iPhone version, and have both versions synced so I can jump back and forth from my iPad. A challenging upgrade, I'm sure.
Also adding the split screen feature might be helpful…converting to a vertical (iPhone) layout when using with other apps in landscape view.
Kudos to the publisher for his or her thoughtful development of this app.

Thank you for the feedback! You're right that our focus has been on keeping the app clean, functional, and simple to use. Your requests are good ones that we'll certainly keep in mind for future updates. Until then, enjoy!
