1. Choose Start➪Games and double-click Hearts. If you’ve
never played before, you’ll see a Microsoft Hearts
Network dialog box; enter your name and click OK.
2. In the resulting Hearts window,
your hand is displayed while others are hidden. Begin
play by clicking three cards to pass to your opponent,
and then clicking the Pass Left button.
3. Each player moving clockwise around the window plays
a card of the same suit by clicking it. The one who plays
the highest card of the suit in play wins the trick. (A trick
is the cards you collect when you play the highest card
of the suit.)
4. Choose Game➪Options to change the settings. You can rename the other three players,
play sounds, show tips, or specify how to save a game.
5. To end the game, choose Game➪Exit or click the Close
button.
Check out the menus in the Games window for organizing and customizing
the various games that Windows Vista makes available
and to set Parental Controls.
