The Game of " ROOK"

I've never played Rook but I've played my share of Rummy. I used to play all kinds of card games with my kids when they were young but being young men now, they're just not into anything that doesn't go into one of their gaming systems. I played a game of 10,000 Rummy once with a friend of mine. It took us 3 days to finish and she won by almost 3,000 points. I didn't mind losing, though. It was fun. Whenever my sister and I were at my mother's, we'd play cards. It didn't matter what the game was, we enjoyed the time spent together. I'd love to have someone to play cards with now but no one I know likes cards anymore. My son gave me a new Monopoly game for Christmas because I told him I'd like to have some board games for us all to play. I miss that time, sitting around the table playing a game and having fun. I'm glad you enjoyed playing Rook with your inlaws. I know how time can fly when you're having fun.

hi rosepedal64 oh my Rook we used to play that when I was growing up and now I do not even remember how it is played. the name however is most familiar to me. I know we used to play it for hours on end. My mom and grandpa also like pinochle and I could never get the hang of it. I loved to play scrabble although and chinese checkers too. I liked to play chess with my husband although he almost always bet me at it.Have a Wonderful New Year full of all things bright and beautiful. had to steal a line from a favorites hymn. lol

We occasionally play some around our house. The problem is often getting 4 players who all want to play at the same time, LOL. That's usually the main difficulty.

I've heard of it, not sure if I ever played it. Actually it's been a long time since I played cards of any kind. I used to play hearts and spades and gin and many things. My parents even tried to teach me to play bridge!

There are certain members of my family that enjoy playing the game, and I played it once or twice. I rather like to play spades more then anything though, and my husband and I will often play with our cousin a game or two, sometimes the game PAT. I also used to play BS, War, Go Fish, and UNO.

I don't really know about that game, my friend. I though this is chess because there is a words ROOK...Have a nice day!

I never learned to play this. I like one called "Hand and Foot" but it is a very long game. I do not get to play games very often, except with family. I think it is great that you got to play with friends.

I have not play Rook for over 40 years! This marks me as an old fuddy-duddy, but I like Canasta. Haven't played that in years either. Lately all the games I play are online. I like the puzzle games best followed closely by games such as Kritter-Krawler.

I never played Rook but we like playing cards too. One of our favored Card Games is "Face 10" we play it for hours once we get started.

I am not too familiar with card games and I have not heard of ROOK. I used to play cards with my family but my mother is a terribly bad sport and gets very angry when she is on a losing streak so much so that I stopped playing because it ended up in an argument every time. We used to play the Italian game of ‘Scopa’; it has been so long I am not even sure I remember how to play! I may get back into card playing with my husband perhaps; the only game he and I aver played was ‘Chase the Ace’!
