Classic Hearts

Classic Hearts — play offline vs smart AI.
No internet required. No sign-up. Just a lively four-player trick-taking game that rewards planning, passing strategy, and careful endgame play.

Hearts is an “evasion” trick-taking card game: the goal is to score fewer points than your opponents. The game ends when any player exceeds 100 points, and the lowest score wins.

Quickfire rules
After the deal, each player passes three cards. The player with the 2 of Clubs leads. Players must follow suit if possible; otherwise they may play any card. Hearts and the Queen of Spades are penalty cards, and Hearts cannot be led until they have been “broken.”
At the end of each hand, penalty cards are totalled and added to each player’s score.
