How To Play Rook (4 Players)

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.

When will be next card game tutorial because i really like those games

Best game ever.

Can you teach us how to play mulan? I saw some kids in my school play it but i couldnt understand how to play. I tried to search it on google and found nothing. I would be gratefull if you could teach us.

Can you play this with normal playing cards?

Can you play this with normal playing cards?

Can you play this with normal playing cards

This is basically 500

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?

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

Can you lead a trump before one has been played?

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.

Thought this was about R6

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.

Gonna file this under "games I just don't understand" right next to backgammon.

Is this Rick Steves explaining this?

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

Lost me at bidding.. what's going on??

you can play this with a regular deck of cards, just remove 2s, 3s and 4s and add a joker

good instructions

You need to talk about what you are doing and slow down moving to fast

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?

Confused

Shoot the Moon lol

U Can play rooker low or with the red one

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.

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

Huh?

This is literally a rook deck. it is not meant to take out cards to play.

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?”

Most overly confusing game ever

Kosrae has a different set of rules😂

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

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.

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.

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

And then he sacrifice THE ROOOOKKKKKK

Seems very similar to Bid Whist.

Is it possible to play 6 players?

Used to play with my grandparents and uncle.Been playing over 55 yrs myself. Most of the time we play rook low (11,12,13,14 beats rook card) makes it a little more challenging. If you have outstanding hand and know between you and your partner (playing with 4 ppl) can score 120pts you call out shoot the moon. In the old days all the farmers would play and have Rook tournaments in the winter at the locol country store.

This is specifically the Wild Bird Game

Question: what if the two people have the lead suit of a round ( both put down a 14) , who wins that round?
