SETUP 

The deck is modified only keeping the cards ranked Ace through 7. This leaves you with a 32-card deck. 

The first player is determined randomly, then passes to the left for each new deal.  

The player to the right of the dealer cuts the deck once it has been shuffled, the dealer passes each player 8 cards.  

Card Ranking  

The ranking for trumps is different than the other suits. The trump ranking is 9 (high), Big Jack, Little jack (the jack of the same color as the trump suit), Ace, King, Queen, 10, 8, and 7 (low). 

The other suits rank Ace (high), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, and 7 (low).  

BIDDING 

Before play, there is a single bidding round. The bidding begins with the player to the left of the dealer and closes with the dealer. One at a time, players either pass or place a bid. Bids placed must be higher than the previous one. The minimum bid is 1 but if no bid higher than 4 is placed the dealer must bid 5. Numeric bids are placed with a trump suit. For example, a bid of 5 spades means 5 tricks must be won and the trump suit is spades.  Numeric bids up to 7 are allowed, then after that, players may bid Le Petit, High Card with No trump, and the highest possible bid, Charlemagne.  

Numeric bids mean that your team will be contracted to win that many tricks during the round.

Le Petit means the bidder will play without their partner, who sits out the round and folds their hand face down. The bidder must lose every trick of the round to be successful.

High Card, No Trump means your team must win all 8 tricks, and there is no trump suit.

Finally, Charlemagne means that the bidder’s team must win all 8 tricks with a trump suit. The bidder may also choose to play alone. To do this they call for their partner to give them an Ace or a suit. The suit they call will be trumps, and their partner may give them one card from their hand before discarding the rest face down. The opponents may choose to both play or one may play alone, with one opponent giving the other a single card. If given an extra card players must discard down to 8 cards.

ROOK FOR TWO

  ROOK FOR TWO OBJECTIVE OF ROOK FOR TWO:   Be the first player to 150 points or more NUMBER OF PLAYERS:  2 players NUMBER OF CARDS:  44 Rook playing cards RANK OF CARDS:   (low) 4 – 14 (high) TYPE OF GAME:  Trick taking AUDIENCE:  Adults INTRODUCTION OF ROOK FOR TWO Rook for Two uses the 1914 publishing of the rules as its source.  George S. Parker (of the Parker Bros.) wrote the rules himself.  One interesting thing to note is that the Rook card was not used in the standard rules for this game.  The instructions here on GameRules will hold true to the original 1914 publication by not including the Rook card. It should also be noted that this rendition plays differently than the modern day 2 player variation included in Hasbro’s instructions for the game. THE CARDS & THE DEAL  Remove the 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and the Rook card to form a 44 card deck.  Draw cards to determine the first dealer for the game.  This game incorporates what is called a Dummy hand.  The Dummy will always be dealt
