It doesn’t even tell you when you should or shouldn’t pass the queen of spades, which may be the biggest flaw in the help topics considering how important the queen of spades is to the game of Hearts. It mentions nothing about the benefits of passing away an entire suit. It merely recommends that you pass high cards to the opponent. I also found that the tips offered on passing were rather obvious as well and not all that helpful.
As another user put it in a review of the game (click here for the link), it “certainly isn’t anything that can’t be worked out with ten or fifteen minutes of solid Hearts playing.” Other users had similar troubles with the help section another user review of the game (click here for the link) called the help section “useless.” The most useful tip I found in the help section was to “play your highest cards early in the game, while your opponents are likely to have some cards in each suit and will have to play those cards instead of hearts.” This was certainly the least obvious suggestion offered the rest were rather obvious such as avoid taking hearts or the queen of spades in tricks. It had taken me a while to actually win though because the help section in this game only provided the most basic strategies. But how challenging was the computer? How helpful were the help topics? Did the program transform players from complete novices into decent players who could hold their own against human players? This article will attempt to answer these questions and to judge one of the oldest computer Heart games out there.įor me, I had learned the game of Hearts from The Microsoft Hearts Network.
