About the game
This game combines the standard game of hearts with special cards. There are cards that when played force everyone to pass their hands to the next player. There are wild cards that can be any color. If you win a trick with a wild card in it the wild card will specify an amount of cards you must draw and add to your won tricks pile. At the end of a round you receive 1 point for each heart (red cards) in your wins and 13 points for winning the yellow 13 card. If one player takes all the points, that player gets 0 points and all other players are penalized 20 points. Fewest points wins.

Questions and answers
UNO Hearts supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for UNO Hearts is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists UNO Hearts for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
UNO Hearts has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
