Polished and beautiful

Great implementation of this classic card game! Love the custom rules option. Well worth the small price!

Challenging

Lots of fun. Makes you think. Not an easy win. Have to work hard at it

Too many stacked hands

The flexibility in setting rules is great, but too often it is obvious that the hands of partners are aligned with each other. Ive never seen so many 200 point hands in my life! And my partner seems to be less helpful to me than the other partners are to each other. Im taking of course about the individual game - it may be better on multiplayer.

Rook

Takes a little figuring out to make your own rules, but definitely a fun game! Extremely addicting, great graphics. Remember, your partner is always across from you in this app! There is no "call partner" if you are used to playing like that.

Blackbird

This is a great game. After a few tweaks it is just like the game I grew up with, and brings back great memories of playing it with my parents. Love it!

Rook

Exactly what I was looking for! Once you figure out how to change the rules, youve got the standard rook game.

Pretty good

Im getting my Rook fix for sure. Fun to try the different rule settings...not liking that I cant call my partner, but its a cool challenge. I looked for this a couple years ago and was thinking it would never get made, but obviously theres enough hardcore fans - thanks for making this app!

Great card game

If you grew up playing rook, this is a game played the same way. Great fun and can be played in the multiplayer mode as well as one player. Fun game.

Buy this App!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this game! This app just keeps getting better and better!! Games play is easy to use, and I like that you can customize rules (please add the option in rules that trump cant be played first round.) This is the best version of this game in the App Store by a country mile!Worth the money!! PS Please add chat to multiplayer.

Great game

I love this game. Very similar to the game of Rook that my family always likes to play.

Love it!!

Love it!! Only problem is it freezes while playing multiplayer not every time but quite a bit.

Top Shelf

Love customization, achievements and play layout.

Normally 5 stars.

The new updates causes the multiplayer to be very glitchy and slow. The response time is very tedious. My wife and I often have to exit out of the game and come back in to progress the game. Single player mode is fantastic!

Fun game

I have enjoyed playing the game for a couple of games. Reminds me of the old college days and rook tournaments late into the night. Id enjoy being able to pick a card/partner but other than that, its quite authentic to my experiences. Thanks. Thank you.

Good game

This game is lots of fun and good practice for playing with your friends. It is a well made app as well. I would like to see an option to pick your partner though. One critique I have is with the bidding process. If you raise the minimum bid the computer players rarely bid. And if nobody bids the last person (dealer) automatically wins. There have been many times where I have ended up "winning" the nest with a hand I would have never bid with. That said, I still play all the time.

Good game if you enjoy lo losing

As good as the real game but you can never get a decent hand!

Awsome

Really nice but there is just 2 rules that would be fun to be able to modify. 1st: babybird, which puts the blackbird lowest and not highest(still worth 20). 2nd: nest size, Im used to 1 centre card, making a hand of 14 per player instead of 13. Thanks to hear us out!

Good game

Love the game, just wish you can alter the size of the nest. Five cards is too many.

Great for multiplayer

Really fun if you play with friends. Single player AI partner never picks a good trump. (Always whatever color you have the least of... Or so it seems)

Not Realistic

The deal is not fair or realistic. Most often, the bidder and his partner have a disproportionate amount of trump.
