Play Hearts

Avoid penalty cards in this classic trick-taking game

Hearts is a four-player card game where the lowest score wins. Follow the suit that was led when possible, but think carefully before taking a trick: every heart adds a point, and the queen of spades is worth 13. Play against three computer opponents or pass the device for a local four-player game.

How to play

  1. On passing deals, choose three cards to pass in the indicated direction. Every fourth deal, keep your hand.
  2. Follow the lead suit when you can. The highest card in that suit takes the trick.
  3. Avoid taking hearts and the queen of spades. Hearts cannot be led until they are broken.
  4. A player who takes all 26 penalty points shoots the moon, giving 26 points to every opponent instead.
  5. The match ends when a player reaches 100 points. The lowest score wins.
