Hearts Classic: Cards

Play classic Hearts! Dodge penalty cards, shoot the moon, and compete offline with smart bots or online in multiplayer via Apple Game Center. Beautiful & free!

Welcome to Hearts Classic, the premier mobile version of the beloved trick-taking card game!

Avoid penalty cards, dodge the Queen of Spades, and master the art of shooting the moon. Hearts Classic delivers a modern, fluid, and beautifully polished card game experience for beginners and seasoned players alike.

== GAMEPLAY & RULES ==

• CARD PASSING: Before each hand, pass 3 cards to another player. The direction rotates each round — Left, Right, Across, then Hold — adding layers of strategy to every deal.
• TRICK TAKING: Follow suit and play smart. Each Heart taken costs 1 point, and the dreaded Queen of Spades costs 13. The lowest score wins!
• SHOOT THE MOON: Capture all 13 Hearts and the Queen of Spades in a single hand to score 0 while your opponents each take 26 points. High risk, high reward!
• HEARTS BREAKING: Hearts cannot be led until a Heart has been played on a previous trick (or a player has nothing but Hearts left).

== KEY FEATURES ==

• OFFLINE PLAY WITH SMART BOTS Practice and play anytime, anywhere. Our advanced AI opponents use memory-based tactics and Monte Carlo simulations, offering a true-to-life challenge without needing an internet connection.

• REAL-TIME MULTIPLAYER Connect via Apple Game Center to play online. Create public tables or private matches with friends. Built-in turn timers keep the game moving fast.

• PREMIUM VISUALS & EFFECTS Enjoy smooth animations, dynamic score popups, and clean card movements. Watch penalty alerts flash crimson when Hearts are captured, and golden banners celebrate a successful Shoot the Moon.
