Features & Capabilities

Rook: Kentucky Discard is a Chrome extension that brings the popular trick-taking card game to your browser. The design is color-blind friendly, featuring a Rook card as a castle piece and a deck numbered 5–14 (with optional 1) across four suits plus the Rook.

Gameplay covers dealing, bidding to name trump, widow discards, and trick play. Points assign values to cards (Rook = 20; 14 and 10 = 10; 5 = 5), and teams aim for 300 points or a 300-point lead to win. You can adjust settings to determine how discards are allocated (to the bidder or last-trick winner). There is also a related paid Rook Gold app with no ads available on the App Store.

Love the game but hate the risqué ads. Had to remove the app to keep away from the suggestive ad pictures.

Not very much fun. South never has a hand that can bid. Bidder wins 95% of games. Frustrating!
