Rook

Kentucky Discard

Published by: fishdog.net

Description

Kentucky Discard is a popular trick-taking card game using a special 41-card deck numbered from 5 to 14 in 4 suit colours, plus a Rook card. In this app, the Rook card is a castle chess piece.
Dealing: Deal passes around table for each hand, to the left. Dealer deals 9 cards to each player, and 5 cards to the widow in the middle of the table.

Bidding: Players bid for the right to name the trump suit. The player to the left of the dealer starts the bidding at 70 (or passes), and bidding proceeds to the left, usually in 5 point increments. A player that passes is out of the bidding for that hand.

Widow, Naming Trump: The high bidder collects the 5 widow cards (which are shown to all players), names a trump suit for the hand, and discards 5 cards from her hand (not shown to the 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.

Tricks: The dealer (or the high bidder, you can change this) 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 his 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.

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.
Winning: First team to 300 points (or to be 300 points ahead) wins the game.

ROOK - The Bird

Reds are Trump on

I have played ROOK for years with human beings - I found this App and it is the BEST APP EVER for me - I have deleted several “game” apps that have become BORING after finding this ROOK APP !!! Thank You to all of you who are responsible making this happen !!!!!

The game

The game is frustrating because your team doesn’t give you points when it is your trick. Also you try to make the bid and your team only has the rook and they out bid you.

Super fun!

I love that this game is challenging. To learn, the computer helps you play several rounds until you are confident. I really like that you play several games before a “commercial” which is very short and then you play several games again. This is a well designed game.

Love Rook

Great game from childhood. Has a few glitches in the program but after you play for awhile you know what card is coming next. Irritating is when partner leads with a trump when trump color is evenly dealt among all players. Also, it is crazy when an apposing player plays a 13 on a 14 when they have a 5 to sacrifice and gamble on taking more points to set the apposing team with their 13. My husband and I both play this game daily and will continue. Which we could play as opponents.

This is a great app if you want to improve your Rook skills. You have the option to replay each hand so if you go set replay and see if you can make the hand. I wish there was an app for playing Rook with real people.

Rigged

United States

Gabe is pretty fun, but definitely rigged to allow the computer team to win. On average, my team got the rook card less than 25% of the time. It’s almost impossible to win when the cards you’re dealt are disproportionately skewed to allow the computer to win.
