I was wondering if anyone here knows how to play hearts? I started a map that 4 people can play hearts on but am wondering if anyone really wants to play it.

I'd play it sometimes, hearts is ok, but not unless you could make bets on it somehow.

Alrighty....
Here is how to play hearts (although some games lets you change some things):

How to play:
What the note means, is most of the time you can not play a heart until the first person to play a card in a suit that you don't have. For example, bobby, Joe, mike, and tom are playing. Bobby played a club. Joe and mike couldn't play anything but a club, because that was the first card that was played. Tom, however, is out of that suit, so he can play the queen of spades of a heart (if he has either one).
How to score:
Strategies and tips
Now, with that said... You can get each player to never have the same kind of card through the use of randomized switches. And yes, I would play Hearts of SC.

The object of Hearts is to have the lowest score at the end of the game.
How to play:
QUOTE(heart's help file)
1:
Choose three cards to pass to an opponent (except for every fourth hand, when no cards are passed). To select a card to pass, click it. To cancel the selection of a card, click it again.
2:
The player who has the two of clubs starts the play by leading with it.
3:
Each player, moving clockwise, clicks a card to play. You must play a card in the same suit. If you do not have one, you can play any card, except that you cannot play a heart or the queen of spades on the first trick.
Note:
The person who plays the highest card of the same suit as the first card played takes the trick. That player starts the next trick by clicking a card to lead. You cannot lead with a heart until a heart has been played on a previous trick.

How to score:
QUOTE(heart's help file)
- At the end of each hand, you get one point for each heart in your hand and 13 points for the queen of spades. The game continues until one player gets 100 points or more, or until the dealer quits the game.
- If you win all the hearts and the queen of spades in one hand (called Shooting the Moon), then you score zero points and each other player scores 26 points.
- To Shoot the Moon is to collect all the hearts and the queen of spades. When that happens, you score zero points and each other player scores 26 points. Your chances of successfully Shooting the Moon are best if your hand contains a large number of high-value hearts and spades.
Strategies and tips
QUOTE(heart's help file)
- Avoid taking a trick containing hearts or the queen of spades. The only time you will want to take such tricks is when you are trying to Shoot the Moon or trying to prevent someone else from successfully Shooting the Moon.
- On hands that begin by passing cards to an opponent, pass cards with high values, such as aces or face cards.
- Play your highest cards early in the game, while your opponents are likely to have some cards in each suit and will have to play those cards instead of hearts. Tricks that do not contain any hearts or the queen of spades do not add to your score.
- Keep track of which cards have been played, particularly whether the queen of spades has been played and whether hearts have been broken (that is, whether a heart has been discarded on an earlier trick).
Now, with that said... You can get each player to never have the same kind of card through the use of randomized switches. And yes, I would play Hearts of SC.

I never liked the computer game hearts, but playing with actual people would probably be fun

I think any type of card game multiplayer would be great on SC, the multiplayer aspect would really catch on

Ya, Devilisk is right. I don't bother to play hearts that much because it's pretty hard to play MS hearts with other humans. (You have to set up a network, check to see if the network is actually working, and then destroy your computer in your anger because you can't get MS hearts to work with the other human(s))
