Discover the timeless excitement of Hearts, one of the most beloved trick-taking card games in the world! Perfect for family game nights or casual play with friends, Hearts delivers strategy, suspense, and plenty of twists and turns. Unlike most card games where high scores win, in Hearts the goal is simple: keep your score as low as possible by avoiding tricks that contain hearts—and especially the dreaded Queen of Spades!
Q: How many players can play Hearts?
A: Hearts is traditionally played with four players, using a standard 52-card deck.
Q: What is the objective of Hearts?
A: The goal is to avoid scoring points. Hearts cards are worth 1 point each, and the Queen of Spades is worth 13 points. The player with the lowest score at the end of the game wins.
Q: What does “shooting the moon” mean?
A: If a player manages to take all the hearts and the Queen of Spades in a round, they “shoot the moon,” which usually results in a big score swing—either subtracting points from their total or adding points to everyone else’s.
Q: Is Hearts good for beginners?
A: Absolutely! Hearts is easy to learn but offers plenty of strategy for advanced players.
Q: What do I need to play Hearts?
A: Just a standard deck of playing cards and four players. No special equipment required!
