## Description

CrowsNest Card Game is a Chrome extension that delivers authentic ROOK gameplay. The default version, CrowsNest, is the developer's favorite and sets up a four-player partnership with AI teammates. The Crow card is the lowest trump, and the Nest mechanic adds depth to bidding and play.

In addition to CrowsNest, the extension includes six classic ROOK variants: Tournament Rook, Partnership Rook, 1-High Partnership, The Red 1, Buckeye, and Dixie Rook. The rules cover bidding, trump choice, trick-taking, and scoring to 300 points, with special handling for Counters and Crow points. CrowsNest is the default on install.

## Review summary

Players love the nostalgia and variety of Rook/Buckeye play, especially for social games with family and friends, and praise the free, faithful rendition. Core issues center on AI partner overbidding and opponents’ perceived card knowledge, plus performance, scoring, and UI stability after updates. Addressing AI balance, fairness, and bugs would improve the experience while keeping the classic gameplay intact.

### Pros

- Nostalgic Buckeye variant and faithful Rook gameplay that triggers fond memories.
- Supports multiple variants and family-friendly rules (e.g., 1-High Partnership, Red 1) adding variety.
- Easy to learn and great for playing with family and friends; strong social appeal.
- Free to play and well-implemented with a solid, authentic reproduction of the game.

### Cons

- AI partner frequently overbids or makes poor bidding decisions, causing frustrating losses.
- Opponents seem to know players’ cards or rely on clairvoyance, making the game feel unfair.
- Performance and speed slowdowns after updates, affecting gameplay experience.
- Scoring glitches and occasional redeal/visibility bugs.
- UI/layout changes and display issues that don’t fit some devices.
