Hearts Café Game Boy Advance card game.

It is a fully functional card game of Hearts, developed for the Hearts Dev Compo in 2002 (1st place) .

User guide

The specificity of this game is that it allows several human players to share the same Game Boy, with a waiting screen hiding the cards while the device switches hands.

It also features two different AIs to allow for 1-player play. One of the AIs is dumb (it plays a random valid card at every turn), the other is "smart" (it follows a predefined strategy thought in advance to minimize losses). Both AIs do not cheat, that is they act like they do not know the state of their opponent's cards.

The original instructions about the game are in the how to play.txt file.
