Customer Reviews

Deluxe Rook
Just to repeat what others have reported. Overall the cards, score pad, and instruction booklet are top quality. It doesn't make sense why the picture of the bird on the back side is upside down from the face of the cards. Also,the shade of yellow used is so light it's actually hard to see. These two flaws make an otherwise great card package just average.

Deluxe Rook Cards Not Really Deluxe
These Rook cards do contain the larger font of an earlier edition. However, the yellow suit is very pale and difficult to see. After we opened the cards (two sets were purchased), we found that the Rooks on the backs of the cards were printed upside-down. The cards are also not particularly sturdy. These cards appear to be irregulars.

Rook is a classic game of gin/rummy with originality
Hearts and spades are great games to play. The unfortunate aspect of them is that there are no rules for playing with more or less than four players. Rook can be played with 2-6 people which makes the chances for playing much greater. A highly educational game, it teaches children the aspect of strategy and tactical planning. These skills are not usually taught in schools and are a great way to learn them while having "fun" in the loose sense. Differing amount of players exposes new elements of the game with differing instruction. 5 Star Game.
