So Easy It is Addictive

To alleviate stress, I play this game a lot, though it has little relation to an actual game of Hearts other than the rules. On Easy, I shoot the moon 45.7% of the time, and on Hard, 43.1%. Easy, is in fact, a little less predictable, and I’ve lost a couple matches. On Easy, the computer will pass Hearts. On Hard, they don’t — and also the computer hands keep the Ace and King of Spades until the end, unless flushed out. On all three levels, the computer will toss the Jack of Diamonds and pass A, K and Q of Diamonds, so if you wanted to play cautiously, you could simply win by going after it. All in all, I like the game — but largely because it eliminates all frustration. If you play to shoot the moon 2/3s of the time, you will crush the computer players.
