This is the classic trick-taking game, clean and simple. In this card game, try to avoid the Hearts and the Queen of Spades, or take all of them to Shoot the Moon. How low can you score? On the Hard level of difficulty, Marie, Nikola and Albert are really, really smart! Don't worry, though, you can change their names and the difficulty. FEATURES - Different difficulty settings for players of all levels - Options for choosing player names and rule variants - Tracks number of games played and won - Play as much as you like with no ads - Supports full screen and retina display - Play while listening to music (or podcasts) with other apps HOW TO PLAY 1. Each hand begins with choosing 3 cards to pass to another player (every 4th hand there is no passing). 2. Each hand, the player with the 2 of Clubs must use it to lead the first trick. 3. The other players must play a card of the suit that was led if possible. 4. The player who played the highest card (Aces are high) of the suit led takes that trick and leads the next. 5. Hearts cannot be led unless (A) a Heart was already played (Hearts Broken), OR (B) there is no alternative. 6. When no cards remain, players are awarded points according to the cards in the tricks taken. 7. Each Heart is worth 1 point and the Queen of Spades is worth 13 points. 8. A player who takes all 26 points (Shot the Moon) scores 0 points while the other 3 players get 26 points each. 9. After the points have been added, a new hand begins. This continues until a player has reached 100 points. 10. The player with the lowest score at the end of the game is the winner. WARNING This game can be very addictive. If you play for long periods of time, move your body position on a regular basis to reduce the risk of injury. Enjoy responsibly!

Program needs work.
The program has potential but it needs some serious flaws corrected before I will play it again. I noticed very quickly that I would either be dealt the 2 of Clubs or it would be passed to me. After counting 165 rounds (several games) I calculated that I would get the 2 of Clubs 8 out of 10 rounds. That is unacceptable. As for the Queen of Spades, I discovered that if I wasn't dealt the card or it wasn't passed to me, it would ALWAYS be played by the player across from me. I have no fun playing the game.
2 of Clubs
The game doesn't deal randomly. I get the 2 of clubs at least 2/3 of the time. There's no excuse of that!
Best game i've found.
If you're into Hearts give this one a try, it's the best Mac version I've come across.
Good game.
Computer players mae some predictable dumb moves that gives humnas an edge. I would like an UNDO button and a replay option -- I don't care whether the replalys affect the stats or not. AT the end of the game, I would like to see what hands the opponenets held at the start.
Good, but...
This is an enjoyable game, but: 1) The way the cards are spaced in the hand, it's actually difficult to discern the spades from the clubs and the hearts from the diamonds without carefully reviewing your selection. This is particularly true when the reds are unbroken by black, and vice versa. In the midst of gameplay, it's too easy to hit the wrong suit. 2) It's difficult to quickly tell the individual scores, as the font is not bold or highlighted in any way and just sort of disappears in the background. If the scores were boxed and in bold font, it would be so much easier to follow as the game progresses. I would have given 5 stars if these problems weren't present. Otherwise, great game.
very good
good discards and play, does not lead spades except it leads low from longest suit. good defense against shooting moon I can win 2/3 time at hard level, little too easy
Good game
Good game, but would be good to review last set of cards played and at end after all cards played for a hand to see each set.
