- Bidding
- -------
-
- "WCS Rook 'Em" is similar to the card game of "Rook". All of the cards
- are dealt to you and your computer opponent with 5 cards being saved
- for the "Junk pile". You start each game by bidding against the computer
- to see who gets the "Junk pile" and the right to name trumps. The
- computer will start the bid at 70 each time.
-
- You are bidding on how many points you think you can get during the
- game. Cards are numbered 4 - 14 in 4 different colors. And there
- is 1 "Ultimate" card, the Rook. Points are as follows:
-
- 5 - 5 points
- 10 - 10 points
- 14 - 10 points
- Rook - 20 points
-
- You should use caution in bidding! If you win the bidding and
- you don't make what you bid, you lose that number of points!
-
- Whoever wins the bidding takes the "Junk pile" and has the option to
- switch some of the cards in their hand with the "Junk pile".
- The winner of the bidding also gets to name the color of trumps.
- Trumps is what you play when you are out of the color being played.
- Trumps will beat anything except the Rook.
-
- Game Play
- ---------
- Whoever won the bidding plays first.
- 1. If you are starting, you can play anything.
- 2. If you are playing after he computer you must play the same color.
- Highest number wins
- 3. If you don't have that color then you must play whatever color was
- called trumps. Trump wins
- 4. If you don't have the color or the trump color then you can play
- anything. You lose this round.
- 5. The "Ultimate" Rook card can be played at any time through out
- the game. The Rook always wins.
- 6. Whoever wins the round gets to start the next round. You continue
- until all cards are played.
- 7. Whoever wins the last round gets the cards discarded in the "Junk
- pile" at the beginning of the game.
-
- Strategy
- --------
- Here are a few tips of strategy to help you get started.
-
- 1. If you take the bid, trade with the "Junk pile" so you either have
- high number cards in each color or possibly eliminate a color
- altogether.
- 2. Save the Rook to play on points, not just a plain card.
- 3. Maybe save the Rook to get the last hand so you get the "Junk pile"
- You never know points may be in there...maybe not.
