About this game

Hearts Attack! is an enthusiastically named recreation of the popular four-player trick-taking card game Hearts. Here it is a one-player only game, where you attempt to score the lowest number of points by avoiding taking hearts and the queen of spades. Full rules of the game are available here. This seems to be a decent no-frills recreation of the game. There are no options to define, but you can get started quickly and the game progresses smoothly.Hearts Attack! is a digital card game developed for MS-DOS, offering a computerized version of the classic trick-taking card game, Hearts. Released in the early 1990s, it provided a simple yet engaging experience for fans of card games, particularly those looking for a single-player alternative to the traditionally multiplayer game. Gameplay In Hearts Attack!, players compete against computer-controlled opponents to avoid scoring points, adhering to the standard rules of the Hearts card game. Rules and Objectives: Avoid Hearts and the Queen of Spades: Each Heart card is worth one penalty point. The Queen of Spades is worth 13 penalty points, making it the most critical card to avoid. "Shooting the Moon": Players can attempt to collect all the Hearts and the Queen of Spades in a single round. Successfully doing so results in a "shoot the moon," penalizing all other players instead. Trick-Taking: Players take turns playing one card per trick, following suit if possible. The highest card of the leading suit wins the trick. Scoring: The game continues over multiple rounds until a player reaches a set point threshold (often 100). The player with the lowest score at the end wins.
