| New to HW? Welcome!!!!!
Here are some things you might wanna know When you first log on you will first enter the outer lobby, this will have a list of rooms to choose from. There are 2 main areas: Main and Leagues. | In the Main Lobby list you will see a list of all the public game rooms. Maid Mary's Manor offen refered to as MM is a common place for people to go to talk in private at a table. Sometimes a Player or a Guide will ask you there. |  | | The Leagues menu list are those who hold tournements. Most have a site to sign up to be become a member, all are free. In these rooms you will see players who are dark purple, they are Admins and Tourney Directors of that room only. Do not go into these rooms and randomly join a game, these are tournements and you only join a table after you have signed up for that tourney and are asked to sit by the host. |  |  | So lets get started, on the main room list go into Smoots. To play, you join a room from the ones above the chat area. You will notice on top of all the rooms, the ones that need players, because they have a sign that says JOIN. Right below each room, you can see the setting for that game, and it is very important you read them carefully before you pick a game to join. |
| There are pass games (pass 2 cards to your pard on a nil) ,regular, mirrors, suicide, and individual games, so make sure you know what you're about to play. To join, just click on one of the seats that says JOIN. | | 
| You will notice, some rooms have this sign:  This means it's for established players ( people that have played 20 games or more), so if you have less that 20 games played, you won't be able to join it.
In team games, NORTH is parding SOUTH, and EAST is parding WEST. So there is a Blue Team and a Red Team.
You can also watch any game you want, by clicking on the:  sign at the right side of each game. If you are going to watch a game, you can chat in game room also, just don't over do it because it might bother the players, and they might end up kicking you out of the room
 | On top of the room, at left side you will see this:
If you click on game, you will see the game chat. If you click on lobby, you will be able to read and type in the lobby.
You can drag this box to any other part of the screen and also change it's size.
|
 | If you right click on any part of the game table, you can move the Game Board to customize your game area the way you like it.
|
At your right top, you will see game information.
Right click on that tab. |  | This is where you see not only the game settings, but also the options to take off your balloons (chat white bubble), auto play, and other options. This is where you click also, to leave a game.
If you don't like the balloon option, just unclick at the option there in game information, and you will be able to chat in the chat box at your left. You also have a  where you can change your options of decks, graphics, etc etc.
|  | | This is the default setting for the cards: And when you throw the card it will be antimated.. |  |
| You can go to graphics and change them from 3D to 2D. This is healpful if your having problems with graphics and experiencing dragging and other problems. |  | You access these options either by clicking on  in a game or  in one of the main lobbys. You can also change these setings on the main logon screen:
There are many things you can change in options, like the graphics speed, the image of your deck, Audio. Just play with the buttons a little and you will see the changes and choose what you like. You can also replay a recent game you have played.
