Update: Can you please fix a bug that's causing my "partner" to give points to the opponents when it's not necessary. It seems that just started recently. Thank you. I love the game. Older review: Been waiting for this game. I love it. The app is so easy and I like that it has 2 versions. Update: Its now 5/2021 and STILL love this card game. Please do one for Hearts. 😊 Maelrch 2, 2024 So... love this game but the the bug is still on going so I suppose there are no updates anymore.

A Google user, 2024-03-02Used to play Rook with friends and family - this game version (with some of my own rules) is as close to how we played! Love it! I love that there is the option for adding your own twists and character names. Yes, sometimes the AI plays a "stupid" move (like playing a 14 (second highest point card) on the oponent's 1 (Highest point excluding the Rook/BlackBird) even when the next turn they play a non-point card in the same color). But I thoroughly enjoy the game 😁. FYI- I like playing offline.

Kasandra Barber, 2023-11-19I've been looking for a card game called Rook that I played all through HS and college. This is exactly what I was looking for! It also let me set up my own "house rules" which rocks. Excellent game! Update: After playing for weeks the game would not start. I cleared app cache, but still no luck. The Android software gave a message saying the BB code had a bug and to contact the developer. The only way to continue was to clear app data and basically start over. I lost all modifications.
