hearts was the first game of the two games on this server.  The game ends after one hand, and the "winner" is the low scorer
with tie going to the low trick taker. 

mhearts is multi-handed, going to 100 points.  It was only recently coded by Ted Rathkopf.

To each his own.  I like playing against people I've come to know, and I can rarely get a game going in real life.  It's also 
a good programming exercise.
