Support for new devices. Minor bug fixes.
Rook+ is a fantastic digital adaptation of the classic trick-taking card game. It’s clear that the developer, fishdog.net, prioritized functionality and clarity over flashy graphics. The cards are large, easy to read, and the app even includes color-blind friendly designs, which is a thoughtful touch. The bidding phase is handled efficiently, and the AI is surprisingly competent—providing a challenge that feels fair rather than cheating.
For those who grew up playing Rook with family, the ability to customize the rules is a huge plus. You can toggle the 'Bird' card values, change the trump rules, and set different score limits. It captures the social, strategic essence of the game perfectly without the clutter of ads or tracking. It’s a premium experience for a niche but dedicated card game audience.
Ad-free and no tracking
Color-blind friendly design
Highly customizable game rules
Challenging AI opponents
Statistical tracking for your games
Players bid on the total points they think their team can take. The high bidder wins the 'nest' and gets to choose the trump color for the hand.
Follow suit if you can. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick, unless a trump card is played. The 'Rook' card is the highest trump!
Rook+ is currently focused on single-player play against AI, but it features highly advanced computer logic.
I don’t typically write reviews but I just wanted to say I really love this game - the customization ability to play it the way I did 30 years ago makes it nostalgic and the computer players are well balanced. I had the free edition for quite some time but I played it so much I wanted to support the developer because it really is that high quality of a game and work done to make this one of my favorites. Great job and thanks for making such a good and stable game!
Rook was big in the 70’s, it’s still fun. You can tweak it to play the way you want to play. I’ve added the Ones and added a 20 point bounds if you take all the points. Also, you have the played anytime or as the top trump, I choose the later. I find this a good way to unwind, so he can do mindlessly at the dental office, waiting in line at the airport, or waiting for your delayed flight to start boarding.
I love playing Rook card game in person so I love this app. However, I do have a few suggestions: 1) Make a mode that uses the Black duce (in this app it's the color purple)(2) a "little Rook". Make each hand valuable for 200 points with the total game end score being 600. That would be a major advancement for this app(personal opinion) but I still love this app as is.
I love this game. When I was a kid, we called it “Baptist Poker” because we weren’t allowed to play with regular “face” cards. 😂 Great settings options and game play is exactly as I remember it! It would be awesome if there was an option for local game play with other live players who are near by, over WiFi or Bluetooth.
I really enjoy this game, but would love it even more if it would allow a setting where you can’t open with trump until it’s been broken. Also, the partner’s strategy isn’t the best. He leads with the bird or other high trump even if he hasn’t taken the bid when it would be better to try to save it to take the last trick.
'One of my favorite apps. I even play it while waiting in dr’s office or getting oil changed, etc. makes the time pass quickly and it is fun!
Great game! I played this game back in the late 1940's and 1950's. And is still lots of fun!!
This used to be a fun game to play. Since the update you have to open and close the app to start a new game. For a paid app that is pretty weak. Please fix this, developers. At this time, I don’t recommend the app until they sort the bug. Find another Room game. This one isn’t even worth it for free. The developers ruined the game. I’d like a refund.
