Option to make 1's low and worth 0 points
Under the options menu, if we were to also be able to (make 1's either high or low) and have the option to (make it illegal to put points in the nest). No 5's, 10's, 14's or of course the Rook. The version I play, 1 is low and is worth no points. Thanks so much for your consideration, I love this game and will tell my family about it.

Cannot break trump until there is no choice
Trump cannot be played until a player is not able to play the colour of the current round. Once trump is played then all other players can play trump as they want.
In other words, no bleeding trump

Show original nest
Show original nest would allow (after each hand) the player to select if they want to see what was in the nest at time of bid. Might be in the form of an option in the rules to allow it or not. If allowed, have a button to press after each hand if we want to view the original nest.

Make it so you can call your partner by calling a card
When we play at home you choose trump and then which card is your partner. So you are not always partner with the same person. After winning the nest you call "red is trump and the red one is my partner". Adds a little twist.
Another description:
We've always played a variant whereby the partner is 'called' by the winner of the bid, i.e. 'red 14 is partner.' The partner is unknown until that card is played, table talk is forbidden. Scoring is shared between partners for the round only, but the game is won by the first individual player…74 votes -
When trump is led, you don't have to play Blackbird
South western Virginia rules
We play in that if someone leads off with trumps, and you have the bird and no other trumps, you do not have to play it. This completely changes the strategy and increases the challenge.
You should allow people to set this option for the bird when creating a game type

Make option to turn off "nest"
My family and me are huge fans of Rook and the way we play is deal out all the cards and bid and play with the hand you are dealt with the extra card going to the first person dealt. Please consider makeing this an option. It creates a more difficult fun game experience.

Add call partners, 20pt final hand bonus
Call partners allows the high bidder to call a card and whoever holds that card becomes their partner for that round. In this mode, everyone's points are independent.
The 20 point final hand bonus is awarded to whoever takes the final hand, and brings the point total to 200, which is more rounded and matches the official rules.

200 points with the little bird
200 points, 6 cards in the kitty with one card up so everyone can see it. The rook bird is the highest worth 20 points and the red 2 is the second highest card also worth 20 points both are always trumps. The winning bidder always calls trumps and also leads off the first round. The next highest card is a 1 (worth 15), then 14 (10) 13,12,11(worth nothing), 10 (10), 9,8,7,6 (worth nothing), 5 (5). Please put this in to be voted on. I will bring a lot of people to play this way.

Have the option for the Red 1 to be second highest trump.
Good game! Well done. We would like the option to use the Red 1, but have it lower than the Blackbird. This is the way we usually play Rook. Thanks!

Custom nest options
We typically play with bidder gets three cards. Each member of other team gets 1 card
This adds some complexity and reducing how powerful nest is

Pass Partner when Bidding on the nest.....
When we play with set partners we allow the bidder to "pass partner" if his partner has the high bid. This keeps you from bidding up your partner when he has the high bid...The person who does this can only do it once so once its used the next time the bid comes to him he either has to bid or pass.

Add additional rules regarding which cards can be placed in the nest.
We always played that you could put whichever cards you wanted in the nest and they were yours regardless of who won the last hand

Make the computer do reasonable bids and not always very high bids
Like instead of the computer always bidding between 85-100 Have them start bidding more reasonably like between 55-75 that way if you have a really nice hand and they somehow take one trick on you you won't automatically get set but you'll still have a good chance of making your bid.. I've had sweet hands and the computer took one trick and set me and I didn't wanna play te rest of the had then bc there's no point anymore once you've lost the hand

Change why the computer always leads off with trump
When the computer takes the widow and declares trump, it always plays trump for the first few tricks. Doesn't make sense and no one would do that it in real life unless they had a large amount of trumps and wanted to try to run everyone else out. Other than that, I love the game!
