For completeness, my variation, change the standard game with:
-Take out the 2s, 3s, and 4s
-1s are worth 15 points; 14,10=10; 5=5; Rook=20; Total 180
-Bidding starts at 100, with a medium difficulty bid around 130
-1s are a high card like an Ace, taking a 14
This is the way I've always played the game as well.
If I'm at a holiday family gathering and we play cards it is usually Rook.
How do you treat the Rook card? Must be played as a trump or a wild card that can be played anytime? My dad grew up playing one way, my mother the other... so we always have to hash out which way we are playing before hand.
