Playing Rook with 3 players involves slight rule adjustments, making it an exciting twist. First, remove the 2 of each color from the deck, leaving a 57-card deck. Each player is dealt 17 cards, and the remaining 6 form the nest.
Setting Up
Players bid to determine the trump suit. The highest bidder places the nest cards into their hand and discards an equal number.
Gameplay
- Play proceeds clockwise.
- The bidder leads the first trick.
- Follow suit if possible, else play any card.
Scoring
Tally points based on captured cards and set nest values aside. Aim for 300 points to win. Enjoy the unique dynamics of a 3-player game!
