About this app

This game is similar to the classic ROOK® card game*. Play the classic trick-taking game you remember, with the rules you grew up playing. Bid for the chance to call trump, work with your computer partner to take point cards, and make your bid without getting set. PLAY YOUR WAY Start with Kentucky Discard or Western Wyoming rules, or customize the game to match the way your family plays. Blackbird supports a wide variety of rule options, including: • 1s worth 15 points • Low, high, or 10.5 Blackbird • Playing without the Blackbird • Allowing the Blackbird to be played at any time • Winning bidder leads • Red 1 worth 30 points • Adjustable winning score • Bonus for taking the most tricks • Different nest and bidding rules • And more CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE Play against computer players at Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty. You can even choose separate difficulty levels for your opponents and your partner. Easy players make some of the mistakes a beginner might make. Medium provides a balanced challenge, while Hard uses a more advanced strategy to think through possible hidden cards before bidding and playing. The computer plays by the same information you do. It doesn't peek at hidden cards. LEARN AS YOU PLAY New to the game or need a refresher? Helpful tips introduce the game as you play and explain what's happening without getting in your way. TRACK HOW YOU PLAY See detailed statistics for your games, with results tracked separately by difficulty level. Complete achievements and see how your play develops over time. Whether you grew up playing with family, learned at church, or just love trick-taking card games, Blackbird lets you play the version you remember. * This app is not endorsed by or affiliated with Hasbro, Inc.
