๐Ÿฆ Rook

Free Rook score keeper that knows the rules

Rook is scored in counters, the 5s, 10s, 14s and the Rook bird, and the team that won the bid has to reach it or lose it. Enter who won the bid and for how much, then the counters each side took. The sheet checks that they add up, scores the make or the set, and keeps the race to 300 or 500 straight.

What is built in
  • Enter the bid and the counters each side took; sets are scored for you
  • The 120-point deck, the 1s at 15 (180), or whatever count your table plays
  • House rules: last-trick or most-cards bonus, shooting the moon, bidder goes out first, lose at a negative score
  • Partners, or five or six players each for themselves
What the score sheet looks like

Rook, three hands in

Enter each hand on your phone and the sheet adds itself up: running totals, who deals next, and the standings everyone can follow on the match link or a TV. Tap any earlier hand to fix it and every total after it updates.

How to keep score

How Rook scoring works

Pick the side that won the bid and the bid itself, from the lowest opening bid up to every point in the hand, in fives. After the hand, enter the counters each side took. They must add up to the hand total (120 with the deck in the box), which catches a miscount before it is scored. The nest counts for whoever took it.

Questions

Rook scoring app FAQ

Is there a free Rook score keeper app?

Yes. Score All keeps Rook score for free on any phone: the bid, the counters each side took, sets and bonuses, with a live link the whole table can follow.

How many points are in a hand of Rook?

120 with the standard 41-card deck: four 5s, four 10s, four 14s and the Rook bird at 20. With the 1s counting 15 each it is 180, and many tables add 20 for the last trick or the most cards to make 200.

What happens when you get set in Rook?

The bidding side loses the amount of its bid and scores nothing for its counters. The other side still scores the counters it took.
