What is Hearts: Classic?
Hearts: Classic is a browser card game based on the classic trick-taking game where low scores win. You play four-handed Hearts against three AI opponents, passing cards between rounds and trying to avoid collecting hearts or the queen of spades. The game ends the moment any player's score hits 100, and whoever has the fewest points at that point wins. A built-in rulebook covers the basics for players who have never played Hearts before.

Scoring and the end condition
Hearts uses a penalty-point system. Most cards are worth nothing, but hearts and the queen of spades rack up points fast. The table below shows what each card type costs you.
| Card | Points |
|---|---|
| Each heart | 1 point |
| Queen of spades | 13 points |
| All other cards | 0 points |
| Shooting the moon (all hearts + Q of spades) | 0 to you, +26 to each opponent |
Tips for keeping your score low
- Pass high-value cards like the ace or king of spades in the opening pass to avoid being stuck with the queen.
- Lead low cards early in the round to flush out dangerous suits.
- Watch which hearts have already fallen before deciding to shoot the moon, it only works if you can collect every single one.
- If an opponent is close to 100 points, play defensively to stay out of the way and let the game end on their terms.
