Disney Tsum Tsum – Heart Collection Strategy

This is a guide for strategizing your heart usage to get the most plays throughout your day. There are clearly other ways to gain a lot of hearts like adding a hundred random strangers from online forums, creating fake accounts, paying money, or hacking. But most of us are casual players who want to keep their friends list clean and play for the pure fun of it. Here’s an easy way to get more plays out of the game simply by timing the way you accept hearts.

To sum up the entire guide in one sentence:

Don’t accept hearts until you need to use them.

Here’s an example of how most people would play:

Let’s give some names to the relevant pieces on the screen, right above the words Weekly Ranking.

• The five pink hearts in a row are in the Heart Slots, and these are the hearts lined up to be used in order when you play. Some events generate special hearts that affect the round being played.
• Immediately to the right is the Bank. These hold the hearts you’ve accepted.
• On the far right is your Mail Box, where hearts come in from friends or prizes. Everything in here expires after 30 days.

The Heart Slots regenerate one heart every fifteen minutes, only if there are fewer than 5 hearts in the Heart Slots and the Bank combined.Normally everyone would just hit the “Claim All” button and send every heart from the Mail Box to the Bank. This presents a problem though – your Heart Slots will no longer regenerate hearts! The Heart Slots regenerate one heart every fifteen minutes, only if there are fewer than 5 hearts in the Heart Slots and the Bank combined. As soon as you spend a heart to play a round, a heart from the Bank will fill in that empty space in the Heart Slots. In the image above, you need to play through 42 hearts before you can start regenerating hearts again.

Why is regenerating hearts important?

Compare this scenario to the one above:

As long as I only play the regenerative hearts, I can keep the same total number of received hearts on hand for later binge sessions!Right now, I’m regenerating hearts as I play. Note that I’m keeping the hearts that my friends have sent me in the Mail Box. As long as I only play the regenerative hearts, I can keep the same total number of received hearts on hand for later binge sessions! Only one caveat though: the items in the Mail Box expire after 30 days so you’ll need to keep track of those messages and accept them before they disappear. If I casually play a few games here and there throughout the whole day, I could potentially play 20 or so games and not even touch the 45 hearts in my Mail Box! I’ll have those extra hearts ready for any bingo cards or events that come my way!

In conclusion, it’s as simple as holding off on accepting those hearts. Of course if you want the 200 coin bonus for accepting within the hour then go for it. But if you have friends like mine who send hearts at 2 am you’re not likely to accept them in time – so just leave them in your Mail Box!
