Best card games ever. My family have playing Rook card games for about 30 years till now.

If you do not have a rook deck you can use a normal deck. King is 13, Queen is 12, Jack is 11. Aces are used in this varent and are 14. One Joker is used and represents the Rook bird card. Game is played the same.

@LuisRodriguez-ux7yx 5 месяцев назад

I made my own version of Rook. I call it Evasion Rook. Deal 14 cards to each player, the last card will be flipped up to reveal the trump color. So a flipped up Yellow 3 makes the trump color Yellow. There is no bidding round. When a player gets to 200 points, the game ends, and whoever has the fewest points by the end of the round, wins. The Rook card is like the Queen of Spades in Hearts. It doesn't win any trick, but you can only play it if you have no matching color nor have no trump cards.

You can also build the deck with a standard 52. Get rid of 2-5. Keep one Joker; he's the bird. Ace is 14, King is 13, and so on. Ace is worth 10 points, 10 is worth 10, and the 5 is worth 5. Colors are suits and it plays the same.

Rook cards make me so sad... So boring. Were designed not to offend religious people opposed to court cards

@J24-k8f 4 года назад

@@face4radio Matter of perspective. I like the rook, being the bird of ill omens, death, carrion and such, coming in to wreck your day. The use of colors instead of suites makes the deck more unique. When you hold a rook deck in your hand, you are holding only a rook deck in your hand, whereas the playing deck is rummy, poker, speed, ERS etc. It intimates singularity of purpose, focus, and dedication to one task. By being unique to one task and is not used for any other, the rook deck brings a sense of specialness. I celebrate the standard deck's sheer versatility, usefulness, and rich history. Its uses are many, and it does them well. I also celebrate the uniqueness, focus, and minimalist approach of the Rook deck. It has a different allure.

Helpful instructions. Reminds me a little of the game Rage but without the mean cards haha.

@Ellybelly90 Год назад

I’m not understanding the bidding. How do you determine how much to bid? Is it how many points you think you will win in that hand? What determines a “good hand” vs a “bad hand?”

@samcrowder1001 Год назад

A good hand is a hand that will win many tricks. Having high/many cards of the same color means you have more trump colors if you win the bid, which can be used to take points of the other colors.

@plrc4593 11 месяцев назад

Seems like simplified bridge or 500 with counting points like in German games. This is how skat should look like except that there should be 10 tricks in the game :D

@oddbird5825 2 года назад

Here’s a question for you, we’ve tried playing rook and we found that it’s hard to get up to 70 in bidding. When we all Take the tricks, we figured you would have to at least get at least 70% of the counters in order to win at this game otherwise you’re gonna lose the bedding every time. Is there a way to play this game we’re getting up to at least 70 marker is easier?

@carolarmer8020 3 года назад

good instructions

@StepnicelyDance 22 дня назад

Seems very similar to Bid Whist.

@mickstar85 2 года назад

U Can play rooker low or with the red one

@ahaironyourscreen1425 5 лет назад

At the beginning you mentioned removing the 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s from the deck before playing. What's the point of having them in the deck? Is there an alternate way to play the game that I don't know about?

@GatherTogetherGames 5 лет назад

There is a version for 5-6 players that uses the entire deck.

@hsbvt 5 лет назад

My family has Rook nights and this is with 8 teams going, We use the entire deck with 4 per team. It works fine.

@willpalmer6028 2 года назад

my family has always played with the 1s being worth 15 points and being the highest card in each color. the 2s 3s and 4s still being removed, only because they prolong the game

@jeffreyjacobs3471 5 месяцев назад

The older rulebook for Rook included many other games one can play with this deck, and some did use the full deck, either with or without the Rook card. It is unfortunate that the current rules Hasbro provides include just this one game, but older rulebooks do exist as PDF files on the internet. This game is called Kentucky Discard in these rules.

@jeffreyjacobs3471 5 месяцев назад

If you read the history of Rook, you will learn that the game was invented to give those with religious objections to regular playing cards a game that can be played with cards with just numbers and colors, except for the Rook bird card. Also, having the numbers from 1 to 14 avoids superstitions about the number 13.

@ritaroach3491 2 года назад

I used to play Rook a long time ago. I don't remember taking cards out of the deck. My mind must be going because these instructions didn't make sense. I may just be someone who has to learn by playing. Oops.

@moistman5074 Год назад

Kosrae has a different set of rules😂

@sophiahonaker4809 2 года назад

I understand this now, thank you. Just what do you do with the cards in the middle? What's the significance with those cards?

@jeffreyjacobs3471 5 месяцев назад

Those cards form the nest (a term used in Rook for what is called either the kitty or the widow, as in bid whist or pinochle). The bidder can improve his hand by discarding bad cards and keeping good ones, and players often put 5s and 10s of plain colors into the nest, trying to win the last trick to capture those counters.

My family has these rules. Thoughts on them? -If you don't have the lead suit, you can the break trump by playing trump. -if you do not have the lead suit, you *must* play a trump, and if you have neither, you can play what you want.

If you win the bid you don’t go first? It’s still just left of the dealer?!?

@chandlerwilliams9083 4 года назад

Connor Junevicus I always play the bid winner goes first

@jeffreyjacobs3471 5 месяцев назад

Yes, that is what the official rules state. Not all bidding card games give the high bidder the opening lead, and in a few variations of Rook (in older rulebooks on the internet), the lead goes to the left of the bidder, as in bridge. Having the bidder lead would be a house rule, of course, but it is not the standard.

@@GatherTogetherGames Thank you. When I was a child (50+ years ago) I found a Rook deck complete with the rules in a drawer and I could not understand it. I don't recall my parents ever playing it. I don't think I ever met anyone who played it. I'm going to watch this video until I understand how the bidding works.
