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. FEATURES - Different difficulty settings for players of all levels - Options for choosing player names and rule variants - View the statistics to see how many games you’ve won - Play as much as you like, completely free - Optionally, pay to remove advertising - Play without Internet (on the airplane or subway) - Play while listening to music (or podcasts and audiobooks) with other apps - Compare statistics with other players via Leaderboards and Challenges 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. Make sure you don’t miss your bus stop. Enjoy responsibly!

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.

I’ve been playing for a few months at the hardest difficulty level and still win 75% of the games. The bots’ ai is not very good; even playing at the hardest level it’s like playing against a bunch of none-too-bright kindergartners. The bots won’t play a card to stop a moon shot, try to shoot the moon when it’s obvious they can’t make it, and play the jack of diamonds at stupidly random times. The bots also make questionable card passing decisions, e.g., keeping the queen of spades when it’s the only spade in their hand, and seemingly always passing the deuce of clubs even when it’s to their advantage to keep it.

Hi there, on the hardest difficulty the computer players are not programmed to hold the Queen of Spades when that’s their only spade. Please email us at support@neverboredstudios.com so we can see what’s up with your device/game. Also, if you’re that good at the game we’d love to see you on the Leaderboards. Make sure you join!

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.
