The game play is okay. I wish there were options for using the ones and little rook. Also, the computer generated partners and opponents are really lacking in the skills to make this a really fun game. I may be spoiled. I grew up watching my parents play t h e game with my aunt and uncle. Then as we grew older, my sisters and I played. It is close but not the same. The nuances and game play of experienced players is not there. For now, it will have to do.

Closest thing to a Rook game on the Play Store. Though I dislike the rules of play (Highest bidder doesn't always get to start; bird is always the highest card in the game) it still is an enjoyable and addictive pastime.
★★★★☆James Laverty· May 20, 2023
Much better than others Rook game out there. Issues: 1) 4*/5* opponents call trump, they sometimes lead with the 14 if they don't have the Rook, automatically giving up 30+ points, when they bid 90+.going set on the first trick. Either their bidding logic (not bid so high without the Rook) or the choice of which card to lead off with should be tweaked to be more realistic. 2) End of hand logic is flawed, opponent plays a 14 next to last/holding a 10 for last card...higher card should be last.

The game mechanics are fine. But the rule set absolutely sucks. When the bird card can be played at anytime (regardless of what color was lead), it takes most of the skill out of the game, and makes it pretty much impossible to bid without the bird. This game should adopt the house rules many people play with. 1. Don't allow the bird to play anytime. 2. Introduce the 1 cards as the top card of each color, worth 15 points. This would allow for much more strategy and a more enjoyable game.
★☆☆☆☆Gloria Gow· Dec 15, 2024
I love the game of Rook, but the program needs better design. When I have the bid and my play clearly has the trick, my computer partner will stupidly play the Rook card over trumping me. Or, when I have taken a trick and am I waiting for said partner to heap on a 5 or 10 pointer to finish play, it plays a worthless card and plays point cards on the opponents trick. Very stupid design.
