Hearts vs. Uno
Comparing 2 standards across 22 specifications. 22 key differences identified.
Hearts is an evasion-style trick-taking card game for 4 individual players where the objective is to avoid scoring penalty points. Each Heart card taken in tricks counts as 1 penalty point, and the Queen of Spades counts as 13 penalty points. If a single player takes all 26 penalty points in one hand ('Shoots the Moon'), all opponents receive 26 points instead.
Uno is a 108-card shedding game governed by official Mattel standards. Official rules strictly prohibit stacking draw cards (+2 on +2 or +4 on +4); affected players must draw and forfeit their turn. Players may legally finish on action cards, and a Wild Draw 4 may only be played when holding no cards of the active color.
