Welcome to the Gather Games Challenge series. Each week we'll feature a new game to test your playing skills.
Featured game:
Earning big points isn't always the object of a game. In Hearts, having the lowest number of points can make you a winner (unless you "shoot the moon".)
Play Hearts for free at Games.com. Invite a Gather friend to join you in one of the game rooms so you can play and chat at the same time!
This week's challenge:
Play one game of Hearts and come back to tell us:
- How many points did you end with?
- Do you have any tips?
Provide your answers in the comment field below.
Discuss your favorite games, get Gather Points ™, and participate in Gather Game Night.

Tip:
Pass a low - mid heart and make sure you have one higher. By doing this you make it nearly impossible for someone to Shoot the Moon, and while you may take that one trick with the higher heart, that's only 4 points as opposed to 26 for the person shooting the moon!
tips:
first pass your lowest playing cards. you want to have the highest card in the suit.
I totallly lost the game I played and ended up with like 106pts, and that was even with a shoot the moon where I got to subtract pts from my score. I had 97 pts when I did that..
My problem was I kept ending up with the Q of spades.
Diane, if you know a place to play scrabble online, I'd love to play with you!
