#NoAdsNoTracking: Experience Rook Like Never Before with Our Special Deck and Color-Blind Friendly Cards!
Are you tired of playing card games with the same old deck? Want to try something new and exciting? Then Rook is the perfect game for you! With our special deck numbered from 5 to 14 (and maybe 1) in 4 suit colors, plus a Rook card designed as a castle chess piece, you'll never get bored of playing Rook again!
Our Rook app is designed to be color-blind friendly, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the game to the fullest. Say goodbye to exclusion and hello to inclusivity with Rook!
Here's how to play:
1. Dealing: Deal 9 cards to each player and 5 cards to the widow in the middle of the table. The dealer passes around the table for each hand, to the left.
2. Bidding: Players bid for the right to name the trump suit. The bidding starts at 70 (or passes), and bidding proceeds to the left in 5 point increments. A player that passes is out of the bidding for that hand.
3. Widow, Naming Trump: The high bidder collects the 5 widow cards, names a trump suit for the hand, and discards 5 cards from their hand (not shown to other players). The 5 discards can include point cards which will, depending on your settings, go to either the high bidder or the winner of the last trick.
4. Tricks: The dealer (or the high bidder) leads the first trick. Play proceeds to the left until all 4 players have played one card. Players follow suit unless they are out of that suit (or play the Rook card to win a trick with lots of points). If a player cannot follow suit, any card may be played. If there were no trump cards played on a trick, high card in the lead suit wins the trick. If trump cards were played on the trick, the highest trump card wins the trick. The trick winner pulls in the cards, adds them to their won tricks pile, and leads the next trick. The Rook card is the highest card of the trump suit. The ranking of cards from high to low is Rook-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5.
5. Hand results: Both teams count the points from their won tricks piles: Rook card is worth 20; 14 and 10 cards are worth 10 each; 5 cards are worth 5. The other cards count nothing. If the bidding team did not score enough points to cover its bid, its score decreases by the bid amount.
6. Winning: The first team to 300 points (or to be 300 points ahead) wins the game.
