GrassGames Hearts plays a hand onto Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, fully supported by Play Anywhere, bringing one of the most beloved trick-taking card games to console with a polished, competitive edge.
Priced at £19.99, this is a feature-rich take on Hearts that caters equally to casual players and leaderboard climbers.
Whether you’re dipping in for a quick match or settling down for a long strategic grind, GrassGames Hearts aims to be the definitive way to play.
A Classic Card Game, Sharpened For Modern Play
At its heart, GrassGames Hearts stays true to the strategic foundations that have kept the game popular for generations. Every hand is a balancing act – avoiding penalty cards, reading opponents, and choosing exactly when to push your luck.
What elevates this version is its smart pacing and smooth presentation, making it easy to learn while still rewarding long-term mastery.
Smart Opponents And Flexible Match Types
Solo players can test themselves against clever AI designed to challenge decision-making rather than simply fill seats. Local play allows friends to gather around the same screen, while online matchmaking opens the door to global competition.
Casual matches are perfect for relaxed play, while ranked games bring a sharper edge for those chasing bragging rights.
GrassGames Hearts leans heavily into competitive progression. Wins feed into both monthly and all-time leaderboards, while badges act as visible proof of consistency, skill, and long-term success.
Deep stat tracking and replay reviews let players analyse their performances, refine strategies, and squeeze every possible edge out of each hand.
Multiple Rule Sets, Endless Variety
Rather than locking players into a single ruleset, GrassGames Hearts includes multiple popular variants to keep matches fresh.
Players can switch between classic American Hearts, Omnibus, and Black Maria, each introducing different tactical considerations and risk-reward calculations. It’s an approach that encourages experimentation while keeping the core experience familiar.
Why This Matters For Card Game Fans
We’ve checked, and we don’t think we’ve ever had the chance to focus on Hearts as a standalone genre, but GrassGames Hearts fits neatly alongside the many Solitaire titles we’ve covered over the years. Like the best of those – Ultimate Solitaire Collection – it succeeds by respecting the source material while adding modern quality-of-life features, competitive hooks, and long-term replay value.
For players who’ve sunk hours into digital Solitaire and are looking for something more interactive and adversarial, this is a natural next step.
