This classic game comes in a nice box with illustrated rules that have a nice twist over the old hearts game. This version has the classic 52 game cards plus 4 special Queen cards for 56 cards total. This deck is easier to play with because the company has the points value listed on each card, so it is very easy to keep score. The goal of the game is to keep your score as low as possible, and you get a point for each heart you take. You can take tricks, avoid points, shoot the moon, But if you get the evil queen you get 26 points.
