You can play Rook using a standard Rook card deck or you can play Rook on the internet. However, Parker Brothers (now owned by Hasbro) has been making an official Rook deck for years now. Unfortunately, this original Rook deck does not seem to be available to buy on-line anymore. Fortunately, another company, Winning Moves, makes a "Deluxe Rook" set, which can be safely and easily purchased through amazon.com. You can also play Rook on the internet at Rook-Online.com. If you're a collector, you can often find old Rook decks for sale on auction sites such as amazon auctions or eBay. Just search for "rook". These sites can also give you a general idea how much your old deck is worth (the idea being that it's only worth as much as people are willing to pay). So there you go. These are ways you can play Rook in the comfort of your own home and also where to play Rook on the internet. The cards in a Rook deck are numbered from 1 to 14, with colors (red, green, yellow, and black) instead of suits, and a Rook card (with a picture of a crow - or rook) instead of a joker. Yeah, there are *14* cards in a suit (and thus *15* trump cards). Adapting my rules, the 1 (the highest card in a suit) would be worth 15 points, the 14 (the second-highest card in a suit) would be worth 10 points, and all the other point values remain the same. Playing Rook on the internet can be exciting because your teammates or opponents can be anywhere in the world.
