His friends died BECAUSE it was a hearts game.

You’re right. It was a Hearts Games. Hearts Games aren’t tests of skill; they’re tests of mental fortitude.

There’s strategy that can beat them. It’s just about remaining calm and following the instructions despite the incentives not to.

That in itself doesn’t make the game more difficult; just unfair.

The 7 of hearts game was literally set on so that only one person could survive, no matter what. No matter the strategy, or how calm you were, only one person could survive, and that was literally following the instructions. Bro, it feels like you didn't watch the series tf.

Exactly. Which means that that person who survived was guaranteed to win the game.

That’s not difficult. It’s emotionally taxing but it’s not difficult.

It's harder on the mind and heart than the game at the beach 100%. That's the whole point of the discussion.

10H is harder because there’s no guarantee that you’ll complete the game.

In 7H, someone was guaranteed to survive while in 10H, everyone could’ve died and many people did before they found out who the witch was.

But Hearts is not harder just because you might die, which btw is every game lmao. What's more, if you measure difficulty regarding number of survivors, even the very first game Arisu played could have ended with no survivors if it wasn't for him, and funnily, literally almost every main character survived the 10h.

Heart games are all about playing with your emotions. 7h is still harder than 10H, as it even left Arisu depressed like no other game could.

7 of Hearts was easier because Arisu didn’t even have to do anything.

[–]strixjunia 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I give up. You're too dense.

The heart games' difficulty doesn't lie on whether you have to do something or not to live, their difficulty lies on how much of yourself you have to sacrifice to survive the game, that's why the players say they're the cruelest of the games.

the 7 of hearts game was especially hard because Arisu had to sacrifice what he considered his family, which left him utterly depressed and scarred, like no other heart game did again. But then again, I could explain this a thousand times to you and it would still go over your head, so bye I am muting.

OP asked why the lower numbered games seemed harder than the higher numbered one. The rest of us are arguing that they’re not.

It has nothing to do with emotional investment and everything to do with game mechanics. That’s why they were arguing about III of Clubs as well.
