So you need more than two players? Thanks! Lynn Kathy wrote: My husband and I used to love to play Rook - the easier version. Both of us lived in the Pittsburgh area all of our lives until we relocated to Virginia for a short time after college. Neither my husband nor I ever heard of Rook before our move. Our now dear friends taught us how to play. We would play at least one night every weekend. Tried to interest our kids in the game but they never really liked playing it.
