This is a great game all things considered, the option to customize the rules is wonderful. . Update 2: this android version does not keep track of games played, streaks or anything like the apple version does... and still no changes to allow shooting the moon etc. Now 1- star. I just learned that the apple version was different

Decent Rook Substitute. Partner AI needs a lot of tweeking, strategy is odd and sometimes not good. For example, it plays the rook out of turn like a new player would and after several games it doesn't improve or learn. Opposing team plays well though. Outside this, the game allows customizing the rules so I can play tournament rules instead of Kentucky Discard (bidder leads). One thing I would ask for is for 2-4 player or possibly online play with game invite. Playing AI is ok but gets old.

This game often renigs on play making the odds tilted towards the AI. Please try to fix.

Can you please have the computer respond intelligently? Example: Opponent leads with high rook. My partner puts Trump 1. The next hand my partner plays a low trump! Very frustrating! Fix the part if you and your partner have the remaining Trump, so your partner doesn't run the other (who has the bid) out of Trump!

Played with parents, a lot! Was called "ROOK" when I was a kid! Free! Love playing!

This is the only app I could find that is like ROOK. I like being able to set the rules the way I normally play ROOK. However, during the game, the computer players make some plays that a good ROOK player would never make. Otherwise, I enjoy playing this game.

There are some serious flaws, like smearing ten when there is no chance of taking the trick.
