Shooting the Moon is an alternate way to win a round of Hearts. It can be achieved by essentially doing everything you don't want to normally do; collect ♥️ and the Q♠. If one player happens to accumulate all of the ♥️ cards and the Q♠ they can Shoot The Moon — causing all of their opponents to take 26 points instead! Your opponent will proactively attempt to Shoot the Moon when playing in 'Hard Mode' (in-game setting).
