Sit back and relax, because you’re about to take on the zen experience that is Hearts. The game dives right in and asks you to start collecting hearts without any instructions whatsoever. The reason is that the gameplay is so simple; there’s no need for a tutorial. All you have to do is tap the open circles to move the black dot and collect the hearts. The black dot can only travel through each circle once, however, so in order to collect all of the hearts in each level you’ll have to think ahead.
