It is identical to Tournament Rook, with two strategic exceptions: (1) the Crow card is the lowest trump; (2) when declarer's team achieves the bid they receive the bid amount, not total points captured.  Other classic Rook® versions available for play are: (1) Tournament Rook (a.k.a. Kentucky Discard); (2) Partnership Rook; (3) 1-High Partnership; (4) The Red 1; (5) Buckeye; (6) Dixie Rook. CrowsNest is a partnership card game for 4 players, "We" team vs. "They" team. You and your AI partner (top of screen) are the We team. AI Opponent Left and Opponent Right form the They team. All 3 AI players have identical "skill". The winning difference is up to you! The CrowsNest card deck consists of 4 suits identified by color, plus a "Crow" card which is always the lowest "Trump" card. Each suit contains cards numbered 5 thru 14. The 5's (5 points), 10's (10 points), and 14's (10 points) are "Counters", creating 25 points per suit. Additionally the Crow card is worth 20 points, making a total of 120 points in the deck. (The Crow card can optionally be removed from the deck, in which case there are 100 points.) 1. Play begins by sequentially dealing the cards, 9 to each player and 5 to the "Nest" (4 if the Crow card is not used). Player to the left of the "Dealer" begins the "Bid" process by committing to a total his/her team will capture of the 120/100 points available. Minimum opening Bid is 70 and subsequent Bids must be in multiples of 5, up to 120/100. Players may "Pass" at any time, but then cannot re-enter bidding. Bidding continues until all but one player has passed. If all players pass on the opening round the cards are re-dealt by the same Dealer. 2. Player with the highest Bid (the "Declarer") temporarily adds the Nest to his/her hand, and then discards back into it any 5/4 cards from the combined hand. Counters discarded into the Nest are added to the score of the team that captures the last "Trick" of the hand. Finally, Declarer chooses the "Trump" suit for the hand now to be played. If in use, the Crow card becomes the lowest Trump card. 3. Player to the left of the Dealer leads a card to begin the first Trick. Play continues clockwise around the table to the remaining 3 players. Players must play a card of the lead suit when they have one, except the Crow card may be played at any time. Players out of the lead suit are free to play any card. Highest card in the lead suit wins the Trick, unless card(s) of the Trump suit have been played. In that case the highest Trump card wins the Trick. Player winning the Trick captures the value of any Counters for his/her team, and leads a card to begin a new Trick. 4. After all cards have been played the hand ends. Counters in the Nest are added to the team winning the last trick, and Trick points won by each team are tallied. Team that opposed the Declarer receives the total of their points. If Declarer's team achieved or exceeded the Bid they receive the amount of their Bid. However if Declarer's team total falls below the Bid, they receive no credit for points won and the Bid amount is deducted from their score. 5. The deal now passes to the next player on the left, and a new hand is played by repeating steps 1-4. First team reaching 300 points wins the game. If both teams have 300 or more points, the team with the most points wins the game. If teams have identical scores in excess of 300, a sudden-death hand is played to determine the winner. ## CrowsNest Card Game Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/0c/a0/e7/0ca0e7d2-415d-2f41-07ff-dcdee4dc7ae0/fdbc6f3c-ff7c-4262-869b-265bc281d16d_Simulator_Screenshot_-_iPad_Pro__U002812.9-inch_U0029__U00286th_generation_U0029_-_2024-05-08_at_11.07.25.png/2732x2048.png) ## CrowsNest Card Game Rating Breakdown in Vereinigte Staaten - 5 stars: 22 (35%) - 4 stars: 12 (19%) - 3 stars: 13 (21%) - 2 stars: 7 (11%) - 1 stars: 9 (14%) ## CrowsNest Card Game Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten ### ***** "Great game but bug in the game" I love this app, but there’s a glitch I just experienced. It was a tie at 525 (I was playing the Red 1 version) and my partner on the sudden death round made the bid and scored 125 points to bring the total score to 650, but somehow the opposing team got 700 points despite my partner making the bid, which clearly would not be enough to even get 700 points. That doesn’t look right. Please fix. -- Crazy Dave's assistant, 2024-11-24 ### ***-- "Confused" Was playing this game when the score after game was finished it said 125 points captured ! There’s only 120 in a game . -- Me too 76, 2024-10-30 ### ****- "Trump card" I have had problems where the crow isn’t the strongest trump card -- Gotjuicebox, 2024-09-11 ### ***-- "Program Ending Abruptly" I love this app, having played more than 1200 games. I am giving only 3 stars because of one big problem I think. It usually happens when my partner are ahead. After the hand finishes, the program ends completely, returning me back to my iPad’s home screen. I look forward to updating this review, meaning there’s been a fix applied! Thank so much. -- Chinscatmom, 2024-08-19 ### ***-- "I hate this look!?" I haven’t played this game in a while and decided that I would play today. When I opened the app up everything looks totally different than it did six months ago. Did anything change or am I playing the Rook app? If it did change, I like the old look better along with the option to restart the game after cards have gone out and while you’re playing a game. And another thing is that the app doesn’t fit the iPhone screen. Someway somehow it should adjust to the screen size. It is much bigger than my screen, and I cannot see my cards on the sides nor the scores. Also, and most importantly, can you please put the current game score points on the screen. It’s a guessing game trying to figure out how many points they have and you have during and while you’re playing a hand! -- mmcdonald1970, 2024-07-31 ### *---- "Why isn’t the “Rook Card” playing as a Trump?" Every game I have played the Rook Bird Card never takes a trick. It’s not being seen as the highest Trump. Can you fix it? -- Page1050, 2024-07-09 ### **--- "3.3.0 Latest version STILL CUTS OFF the settings/play banner" 3..3.0 version just updated and downloaded on 6/30/2024 to my IPAD. Landscape view STILL cuts off the white banner with the “play” button. Rotating it to “portrait” corrects this but I wish to enjoy your fine game in landscape. Frustrations - 4 Developers - 0. -- Purchased a version customer, 2024-06-30 ### *---- "Very unfair" This game is so messed up! It deals the opponent the highest cards and the most color for Trump. Who wants to play like that? Get your game straightened out before I play it. Uninstalling it now! -- Tracey CLARK, 2024-06-23 ### ***-- "Buckeye Confused" By far this is my favorite game. But please tell me why a bid of 130 (me and partner), we score 8 tricks, they get two, we get last capture and capture 30 points and we get failed! They get a bid of 130 (them), they get 8 tricks, we get two, they get last capture and capture 15 points and they make their bid. ?????? NOT FAIR ….. SOMETHING AINT RIGHT. Can you please explain. -- Steplynn, 2024-05-27 ### *---- "Version Change" I wish you had a way to play previous version I do not like current display type used to be my favorite game now I hate it -- Robby review, 2024-05-27 ### *---- "Hate the update" Hate the 3.2.0 version. Very cartoonish. Lot harder on the eyes. Probably won’t play after this update….. -- GA Popeye, 2024-05-25 ### ***** "Great game" Love the upgrade, except where is the control to play faster? It’s just too slow. Hope you fix it soon like the previous version. Thanks! Update: You corrected it. Thanks! Love it! -- Ncieyfmslwuf, 2024-05-25 ### ***** "Love this!" This is the only version that allows me to play by my family rules with the red 1. We use red 1 as the “little rook” this plays it as the “big”. Small adjustment to play a great game. Thanks for putting this out there, it’s my favorite phone game. -- Lauren21765, 2024-05-25 ### ***** "Last update made this game unplayable" I hope this gets fixed. I play this game a lot and really enjoyed it prior to the recent update. I play red 1 and the computer bidding is now ridiculous. It makes the game nearly impossible to play correctly. My partner even bids 140 on a hand where he’s not holding anything. It was 5 stars prior to update. Update: Fixed with recent update. Thanks. Back to 5 Stars -- Jmanrook, 2024-05-25 ### ***** "Thanks for the change" The new update 3.1.0 is much better thanks really enjoy this game -- Royhvfgurt3567, 2024-05-15 ### *---- "Early May Update Ruined It" This was a great Rook game. I played the Buckeye version of the game, it’s like we play in northeast TN/southwest VA. When the update happened it ruined the game. The game slowed down and no longer plays correctly. Please go back to the previous version. -- Lori Darln, 2024-05-15 ### *---- "Update issue" The new update has completely ruined the game. The AI will outbid without any points. My dad played and had the AI in the hole over 1500 points due to their ridiculous biding. And it’s slower now and takes so much longer. -- mmillican72, 2024-05-12 ### ***-- "Okay until the last update." The update is slower to play. There used to be an accelerated mode where it went faster. Also, the ai players now bid way to high. 160 without the rook is crazy. It made the game take forever as the other team kept going set. -- Old rook player, 2024-05-12 ### ****- "I recommend" Good app, it’s like Rook all the way. Especially like the way my partner plays. I recommend . -- ShigotaIchikuchi, 2024-05-11 ### ***** "I love Rook" Thank you for developing! The new update has made it awful to play on my iPhone though. I can’t even see half the screen. -- Rookplayer66, 2024-05-11 [View all CrowsNest Card Game reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/de/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## CrowsNest Card Game Discovered Keywords - rook - rook card game - crowsnest card game ## Apps Similar to CrowsNest Card Game - [Spades](https://apptail.io/de/app/spades-eWe/united-states) - [Card Games by Bicycle](https://apptail.io/de/app/card-games-by-bicycle-OtDb/united-states) - [Rook](https://apptail.io/de/app/rook-Dpue/united-states) - [Rook+](https://apptail.io/de/app/rook-XQye/united-states) - [Defend Your Fortune](https://apptail.io/de/app/defend-your-fortune-CEsg/united-states) - [Raven](https://apptail.io/de/app/raven-cSGg/united-states) - [Blackbird: Family Card Game](https://apptail.io/de/app/blackbird-family-card-game-BVGg/united-states) - [RookSC](https://apptail.io/de/app/rooksc-pRSi/united-states) - [Blackbird!](https://apptail.io/de/app/blackbird-eSSi/united-states) - [Kentucky Discard](https://apptail.io/de/app/kentucky-discard-Bqvl/united-states) ## CrowsNest Card Game Available In - [Vereinigte Staaten](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/united-states) - [Kanada](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/canada) - [Brunei Darussalam](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/brunei) - [Kolumbien](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/colombia) - [Tschechien](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/czechia) - [Griechenland](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/greece) - [Kroatien](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/croatia) - [Ungarn](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/hungary) - [Island](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/iceland) - [Australien](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/australia) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/japan) - [Libanon](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/lebanon) - [Litauen](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/lithuania) - [Mexiko](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/mexico) - [Nepal](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/nepal) - [Saudi-Arabien](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/saudi-arabia) - [Suriname](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/suriname) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/ukraine) - [Jordanien](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/jordan) - [Bahrain](https://apptail.io/de/app/crowsnest-card-game-hSSi/bahrain) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io/de) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
