Welcome to Heartcatcher, a two-player, casual-competitive card game. Your goal is to catch as many hearts as you can - but watch out for the tricky effects of the Secrets!
Players take turns "catching" stacks of cards using a rock-paper-scissors mechanic, moving them back and forth across the playing field to increase their end scores. They can also play Secrets (or bluff the playing of Secrets) that affect scoring, or use card actions such as Steal-A-Secret or Your Eyes Only.
This portable, fast-paced game (only 21 cards and playable in under 10 minutes) is a great way to break the ice with new friends and potential love interests.
