What Makes Classic Hearts Stand Out
Play the world’s favourite card game now on your smartphone or tablet! Take on the AI opponents in this challenging, lively trick-taking card game.
Hearts is an "evasion-type" trick-taking card game. To win Hearts you must score fewer points than your opponents. The winner is the player with the lowest score once any player exceeds 100 points.
Free to play. Track your Stats and take on smart AIs in this fun game.
Hearts is a straightforward game to learn, but it is difficult to master. Especially against the Coppercod AIs with their perfect memory. Keep track of your all time and session stats to watch your improvement over time!
Looking for a challenge? Switch to hard mode and push your logic and strategy to the limits!
Customise Hearts to make it the perfect game for you!

● Turn single click play on or off
● Sort cards in ascending or descending order
● Optionally play with the Jack of Diamonds worth -10 points
● Replay any hand at the end of the round

You can also customise your colour themes and card decks to choose from to keep the landscape interesting!
Looking for a quicker game? Switch to Small Hearts, a streamlined 32 card version where the 2 – 7 of each suit is removed from the deck, and the game ends when the first player exceeds 50 points. A fast playing challenge for all Hearts fans!

Quickfire Rules:
The aim of the game is to score fewer points than your opponents by evading Trick cards. After the deal, each player must pass three cards to one of their opponents.
Whoever is dealt the 2 of Clubs must play to start the game. Each player plays one card in turn, following suit where they can. The winner of the trick is the player who plays the highest card. If you cannot follow suit you may play a Trick card (Hearts and the Queen of Spades), except on the first hand, or play any other card in your hand. No player may lead with a Heart until the first Trick card is played – Hearts are Broken.
At the end of each hand, the Trick cards each player has collected are presented and totalled. The value of those Trick cards are added to each player’s total score.
This Card game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Id given up on Hearts as the game Id tried to play was garbage. Extremely poor play. Switched to this one finally and am back to enjoying play again.
Finally a game where no one quits.
First, really appreciate the minimal ads. You can play with just banner ads and no interstitials, which is MUCH better than the competitors. So kudos. Also, we really appreciate the fast mode. You can play much faster than other apps. To all the players saying the hands are rigged, that they never get dealt the queen of spades or whatever Definitely not our experience. The deals seem truly random. Now the issues.. 1. This game only ends when a player has 101 points or more. The games dont end at 100 points, even though they should. 2. The bots sometimes seem to know whats in your hand (or the other bots hands). Most egregious example: One of the bots LED with the queen of spades. We had only a king and had to take it. But there were other spades on the table, so even if they were keeping track of the cards, they couldnt have known that we only had the king. Made no sense unless they know our cards. 3. The bots shoot the moon a lot, which is fine, but the issue is that they never block it when the other bots do it. They just let the bot shoot the moon and put up no resistance, so either you have to take some hearts or the moon is successful. They dont play this way when the player is trying to shoot the moon they block it at all costs. 4. The bots never pass the queen of spades. This doesnt really make sense. Unless you have a ton of spades, you usually want to pass it.
Great appearance, nice design, very enjoyable to play on fast mode. But a truly fatal flaw makes the game too easy to win – the fact that the queen of spades is NEVER passed to us.
After playing quite a few hands we realized we never get passed the Queen of Spades. Not once. Whats up with that? So the program needs improving. Also, the deals have a too-consistent quality and shape to them. They should be more varied. Lastly, its rare we get a hand we can shoot the moon with but the opponents do it on occasion. On the good side, you cant float a heart. Someone will take the trick. Too bad because this game is almost there.
We play the hard version. More like real cards. Players hold and sometimes pass stoppers takes skill to run.
Lot of fun need to re-load the game a lot.
This app feels very fair to us, just like all the Coppercod card games do. Im new to playing hearts. Its like the twisted sister of Spades. Something about Hearts makes us feel edgy. Maybe because there are 3 losers and one winner per game.
Just the relaxing hearts game we wanted! Nice pace, quiet graphics, great play.
Great game we are able to win most of the time, unlike other games that cheat and plot to beat you.
This game is fun and fair unlike some other games here where they are programmed to beat you all the time.
We love hearts and this game app is a great way to play it.
We really enjoy this game but the ad bar has started to cover the continue button for some reason. Please fix.
The luck of the draw can go any way. Playing Hearts can be addicting! Nice app with no problems.
