The game info for 4 players:
The object of the game:
Players don’t want to end up with tricks containing hearts or the queen of spades, but they do want to end up with the jack of diamonds.
The cards:
You need a standard deck of 52 cards. Each player is dealt the same number of cards. So, if you have 4 players, each receives 13 cards (13 x 4 = 52). If you have 3 players, deal each 13 cards, then add the leftover cards to the kitty. The person who takes the first trick will take the kitty, too. In each suit, the cards are ranked from the Ace, with the highest value, on down: K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2.
How to deal:
The players cut for deal. The lowest cut is the first to deal. The whole pack is dealt out clockwise, one card at a time, each placed face down.
After the cards have been dealt, each player chooses three cards to pass to an opponent. Players pick their cards after they’ve looked at them, and before they’ve received cards from their opponents. Cards are passed to the right at the first deal, to the left with the second, and across with the third. At the fourth deal, players keep their own cards.
Note: after each hand, the deal passes to the player on the dealer’s left.
How to play:
The player to the left of the dealer leads first. (Or the person holding the 2 of clubs card can start first.) Each player after the lead must follow suit if he can. If he can’t, he may play any card he wants.
A player wins a trick when he plays the highest card of the suit that is led. The winner of the trick leads the next.
A player can’t lead with a heart until a heart has been “broken,” or played in the game. Hearts are broken when a player lacks a card in the suit that has been led, so he throws down a heart instead. Many people play that hearts can’t be broken on the first trick.
How to keep score:
After all the cards have been played, players count up their tricks. Each player receives a penalty point for each heart card they have. The player who ends up with the queen of spades gets 13 points. Here’s a bonus: the player who ends up with the jack of diamonds gets to subtract 10 points from his score.
The player with least number of points when any player reaches 50 points or 100 poimts (or another preset score or time limit) wins.

The above pictures are to be used just as a guide to determine what I am looking for. I will supply background for program and color scheme and deck of cards and backs for cards and icons.
The program exe. file would be uploaded to my server then assigned a URL link, then that link attached to that lobby.Any member that created a room the program would come up and login with pw, then choose game settings, once all members joined the table the person that created the room would have the option to start the game.
I’d also like to gain more followers and face book and twitter if you could help me with that. Thank you!
