Hearts Extreme

Hearts, rebuilt as a puzzle for one

Hearts Extreme takes Hearts, the classic trick-taking game, and rebuilds it as a single-player puzzle. Every level sets a different goal, and you have to hit it exactly with the hand you are dealt.

The NPCs' hands stay face up too, right through the game. The original Hearts is a card game about reading your opponents, but in bringing it to a screen we rebuilt it as a puzzle: you study everyone's hand and work out the best play. You don't need to know Hearts. The game teaches you the rules step by step as you play.

Six kinds of goals

Match — win exactly the required number of tricks Avoid — never take the marked cards, right through to the end Collect — the other way around: those cards have to end up yours Capture — win a trick with a card of the given rank Predict — declare before the round starts, and finish exactly as declared Disrupt — hold to your own prediction while breaking your opponents'

Ten different decks are waiting for you. Some have no trump suit; others bring special cards into play. One is built from a single suit, and another has no suits at all. Every deck is put together differently, so every deck plays differently.

4, 5 and 6 players

Trick-taking games change shape with the number of people at the table, so all three are here: 4, 5 and 6 player modes. You always play against NPCs, but how many of them there are changes the game entirely.

Daily Ranked

Clear level 10 with a deck and that deck's ranked game opens up. In ranked, every player in the world is dealt the same hand and given the same goal. Take on players from around the world and see how high you can place.
