Story=Know, O' Prince, in the ages before the oceans drank Atlantis, and well, even before that age, DINOSAURS ruled the earth. What did these mighty lords do with their time? They played Hearts of course! Now you can join them... but be carefull, you may not want to win against these guys if you know what I mean.

Story=(Read this only if you don't like mysteries.)

Story=T. Rex Higgenbottom is an efete, snobbish, bore and the self-declared king of the Hearts jungle. Because of his stature and his impressive lineage, (he traces his ancestry back to plankton), he beleives himself superior to everyone else. Unfortunately for you, he is.
Story=
Story=Anthony "Fat Tony" Ceritops is the boss of the docks around here. The fact that "docks" haven't been invented yet causes him, and via the transitive property, everyone around him, a great deal of grief. What he lacks in a sense of humor he more than makes up for in his lack of self-restraint. Taking the Jack can be just as dangerous as taking the Queen around Fat Tony. Oh, and don't call him "Fat Tony" he hates that.
Story=
Story=Birdy Jones is that rarest of Jurassic species, the one that everyone agrees is better off extinct. Between his whining nasal voice, his propensity to feather his nest with your belongings, and his unrelentingly graphic proposals of marriage to your sister, he is perhaps your most loathsome opponent. Sticking him with the Queen, can be a deeply satisfying experience.

Story=Depending on your own style, any one of your opponents could be the "best."
