Description : KDE card game for four persons
 
  Hearts is similar to the hearts game that comes
  with Microsoft Windows, allowing four persons
  to participate in a game.

 I'd describe it in it's own right, as people who are familiar with the
 Windows game of the same name will recognise it, and others will want to
 know what it is independently.

 Hearts is a trick-taking, point-accumulating card game for four players,
 where certain cards have a points value.  The object of the game is to
 obtain the fewest points.

 Hearts has beta support for network play, to allow multiple humans to
 play against other.  You can also play against computer opponents to make
 up the numbers.

I appreciate your description which is much better than mine. I'll most 
likely use your description for the upcoming package, if you don't mind.

B/R,
Frederik Dannemare

Microsoft didn't invent hearts.  Is it really necessary to refer to 
them?  How about: Hearts is a four person card game.

Is there something special that this Hearts does to emulate Microsoft?  
Same keystrokes?

You have a point. I will have the package description changed.

Don't know, really. I haven't played MS hearts for many years, so I don't 
recall the key strokes, etc. My package description was merely inspired by 
the description of the game on http://freshmeat.net/projects/hearts/ and 
http://hearts.luispedro.org/
