The shooting the moon page explains why it matters, with the same hand scored each way.

Browser sites

HeartsMoon (this site)

The game deals at once against three computer players, who wait for you, with no download or account. Quick match seats you with real people, and Play with friends makes a private table with a link to send; computer players fill any empty seats. The house rules cover the moon (the shooter chooses, by default), whether the queen of spades breaks hearts, a game to 100, 75 or 50, ties, the passing cycle, the first trick, the jack of diamonds, and three levels of computer player. It’s free, with ads on the pages and sometimes between games against the computer; there’s nothing to buy. It needs an internet connection.

World of Card Games

Play against bots, join a table with other people, or create a private table and invite friends and family. It needs no download or registration.

What happened to Pogo Hearts and the Windows game?

Pogo (Electronic Arts) used to offer hearts, with table options for most of the house rules on our house rules page. Its hearts page now redirects to its list of card games.

The Windows game came with many versions of Windows; Microsoft’s help pages for Windows Vista and Windows 7 describe it. Its rules were the standard ones, with every moon adding 26 to the other players. Playing like the Windows game shows how to set that up here.
