About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an explosive mix of UNO and classic Hearts strategy! In UNO Hearts, you still have that touch of UNO's luck and chaos, but now with the goal of avoiding red cards (hearts!) and, especially, the dreaded yellow 13 card. The objective is simple: have the lowest score at the end. Each heart you take in a trick is worth 1 point, and whoever wins the trick with the yellow 13 card gets 13 points! But wait, there's a way to come out on top: if you manage to take ALL the point cards (all hearts and the yellow 13), you score zero points, and all other players get a 20-point penalty. Talk about drama!

The special UNO cards add an extra kick. Some force you to pass your hand to the next player – careful not to send the right cards to the wrong person! And the wild cards? They can be any color, but if you win a trick with a wild card, be prepared to draw extra cards and add them to your won tricks pile. It's a game that demands both hand management and attention to the tricks being played. Perfect for those who enjoy a quick card game with twists and a bit of mischief.
