Give option to not have a nest
My family has played Rook through many generations. We are well aware we have our own rules. We don't have a nest. The dealer passes 14 cards to each player and puts one to the side. Whoever takes the bid, gets the look at the middle card and decide to keep it or not. If they keep it, they can only discard a non-pointer and no trump. If they pick up a pointer, they have to keep it.
