I think that in comparison to the real game experience the bga Hearts game is a bit ruined by the way the ratings are given in the end of the game. The cooperation between players is very little because players tend not to target the leader but are focused in trying to avoid points or give them to whatever player. I think it would be good to have an optional setting to give all the points to the winner or at least have less difference between 2nd 3rd and 4th place.
It would also help to avoid these weird game dynamics and to make last tricks of the game a little more significant, enabling the optional rule that shooting the moon leaves to the shooter the option to gain 26 points instead of just subtracting them to the other 3 players
