Rule highlights

Setup, play, winning, and house rules

Setup

  • One to six players. Playing alone, you roll ten times for a personal-best challenge; from two players you can add computer players.
  • The dice faces read 1=H, 2=E, 3=A, 4=R, 5=T, 6=S — the traditional way to play this game with ordinary dice.
  • The default scoring table pays H=0, HE=5, HEA=10, HEAR=15, HEART=20, HEARTS=25. Table options let H also score (HEARTS 30) or raise HEARTS to 35.
  • The default target is 100 (150 and 50 are also available).

How to play

  • On your turn, press Roll to roll all six dice at once.
  • Count how far an unbroken streak runs from H through E, A, R, T, S. Repeats of the same letter only count once (for example H, H, E, T, S, S scores for "HE": 5).
  • No H at all scores zero. Whatever the streak is worth is added straight to your total, and the turn passes to the next player.
  • Rolling three or more H wipes that turn's score and resets your total to zero. Table options can double your total when four or more H appear, or reset it to zero on four or more S.

Winning

  • Once a player's total reaches the target, play continues to the last player of that round, so everyone has the same number of turns (the first player does not get an unfair edge).
  • The highest total when the game ends wins. Equal scores share the place, and if the leaders tie it is a draw. A player may also resign.
  • When you play again, the next player goes first.
  • Playing alone, there is no opponent, so you roll ten times and aim to beat your personal best.

Scoring tableScoring tableThe six dice show the letters H, E, A, R, T and S, and you score by how many letters in a row you roll starting from H (HEA is three). No H scores nothing. In Standard, H alone is worth 0; the other two tables pay 5 for H alone and more for HEARTS, so scores climb faster.Points for each streak length. Standard pays 0 for H alone and 25 for HEARTS. The H also scores table pays 5 for H alone and 5 more for each letter, up to 30 for HEARTS; Higher is the same but pays 35 for HEARTS.Standard (HEARTS 25)Can be changed
