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."
