How do I use the Hearts score tracker?

Enter 2–4 player names and click Start Game. After each round, enter the number of points each player took (hearts = 1 point each, Queen of Spades = 13 points, maximum 26 per round). Click Add Round. If someone shot the moon, use the Shoot the Moon button instead — that player scores 0 and everyone else scores 26. The tracker detects when anyone reaches 100 points and announces the winner.

What happens when someone shoots the moon?

Click the Shoot the Moon button and select which player attempted it. That player scores 0 for the round and all other players receive 26 points. The tracker handles this automatically.

Can I share my score with other players?

Yes — click Copy Score Link to copy a URL that encodes the current game state. Anyone with that link can open it and see the exact same score history, even on a different device.

When does the Hearts game end?

The game ends when any player reaches 100 or more points. The player with the lowest score at that point wins. The tracker automatically detects this and displays the final standings.

How many points is the Queen of Spades worth in Hearts?

The Queen of Spades is worth 13 points. Each heart card is worth 1 point. The total possible points per round is 26 (13 hearts + Queen of Spades). If one player collects all 26 points (shooting the moon), every other player gets 26 instead.

Hearts Scoring Quick Reference

Card	Points
Each heart (♥)	1 point
Queen of Spades (Q♠)	13 points
All other cards	0 points
Total per round	26 points

The goal in Hearts is to have the lowest score when any player reaches 100. Points are bad — avoid taking hearts and the Queen of Spades.

Shooting the Moon

If one player takes all 26 points in a single round (all 13 hearts + the Queen of Spades), they have “shot the moon.” Instead of scoring 26, that player scores 0 and every other player scores 26.

Use the 🌙 Shoot the Moon button in the tracker when this happens — it automatically assigns the correct scores.

Is shooting the moon worth attempting?
Only with a very strong hand — typically holding 4+ high hearts and the Ace of Spades or the Queen of Spades itself. If you attempt it and fail, you’ll take a massive point penalty. See the Shooting the Moon guide for full strategy.

Danger Zone: Watching the Running Total

Watch for players approaching 80–90 points — they’re in the danger zone. At that point:

Other players should try to force them over 100 quickly (give them hearts)
The at-risk player should consider whether a moon shot could save them
Players far behind have little to lose and may play aggressively

The tracker highlights totals approaching 100 in red to keep everyone aware.
