Trick-taking classic
Play Hearts online — multiplayer card game in your browser
Looking for a Hearts card game online with real opponents? Hearts is a four-player trick-taking game where the goal is to avoid taking penalty cards—especially the Queen of Spades and hearts tricks—until the hand ends and scores are tallied.
We are building multiplayer Hearts with server-validated moves so every table stays fair. No install: open the site, sign in, and join a lobby when tables go live.
Hearts rules — what you need to know
Objective
In the usual scoring style, you want the lowest score when someone hits the game limit. You gain points when you take tricks containing hearts (typically one point each) or the Queen of Spades (often thirteen points).
Passing & play
Each hand often begins with a pass of three cards to another player (direction rotates). You must follow suitif you can; if you cannot, you may discard—including playing a heart if hearts have been "broken." Our online table will enforce the exact rule set we publish for launch.
Why play Hearts on Zolo Cards?
Searching for free Hearts online or a browser Hearts experience should not mean giving up fair play. We run game logic on the server so decks, passes, and tricks stay consistent for everyone—ideal for casual nights and competitive friends alike.
Whether you learned Hearts from a family table or classic computer versions, you will find the same tension: when to slough, when to risk the Queen, and when someone might shoot the moon. Bookmark this Hearts online page for updates as we open matchmaking and tables.
Hearts — frequently asked questions
- How do you win at Hearts?
- Usually you want the lowest score when someone reaches the agreed limit (often 100 points). You score points by taking tricks that contain hearts (1 point each) or the Queen of Spades (13 points). The player with the lowest total wins.
- What is shooting the moon in Hearts?
- If you take every penalty card—all hearts and the Queen of Spades—your opponents take the points instead of you, or you subtract points from your score depending on house rules. Our online rules will match the table setting we publish for Hearts.
- Can I play Hearts online with friends?
- We are building real-time multiplayer Hearts in the browser. Create an account, open the Hearts game from the lobby when tables are available, and invite friends to the same table.
- Is Hearts the same as the Windows version?
- Core ideas match the classic game: avoid penalty cards, pass cards each hand (when passing is in effect), and follow suit. Exact options may differ by implementation; check our rules page as we document pass direction and scoring.
