Board Game Arena

I was playing Spades and then played Hearts not too long after and man what a difference in how the game can be played.

What I mean is, instead of being able to click a card I'm 100% sure I'm going to play regardless and then it will automatically play when the time comes, It brings up a red "It is not your turn" sign which can cover the whole screen. It was super nice in Spades to be able to click my card and look away and know nobody was waiting on me to play.

Also it's a lot easier to read what cards were played on the player log because of the use of symbols and colors instead of just words.

They're small changes but would really make playing hearts a lot smoother in my opinion.

Maybe ask the Spades developer (VinceS, as far as I can tell) if he would be interested in forking Hearts and updating it?

I don't think Hearts is still being maintained: https://boardgamearena.com/bugs?game=36

I completely agree with this suggestion. The mechanics of the Hearts game are very lacking when compared to Spades and Wizard. It's hard to track who takes tricks because the cards are always swept in the same direction. I wish the Hearts game were overhauled to play more like Spades and/or Wizard, I like both of those interfaces much better!
