HEARTS : You've got to do something about the cheating. People look through the played cards so they know what cards to play. IRL you have to go by memory. Happens way to often. Only show last hand played or something, hiding the rest of the played cards.

This should only be implemented on real-time games
OR they should just display the played cards to everyone

Not everyone is aware, but you can submit an official suggestion for game changes. This is the site forum for discussing site-level ideas with other players, so we're not personally doing anything. But you might get good traction discussing this in the Hearts forum, then submitting an official suggestion.

Hope that helps!

People can also write down which cards were played. There's no good way to avoid this. The same is true for Spades.

Since they have a game log showing the cards, I wish they just had a visible chart for everyone to see ,that way the game doesn't favor people who are more able to write notes faster than others.

At least, make it an option. And yes, the log ideally would only show the last trick.
