Rook is a card game in the Bridge-Whist family. The principal version uses a special deck of 41 playing cards. We examine bidding and playing strategies through computer simulations. These are based upon a colorful cast of amusing characters appearing in Victor Mollo’s Bridge in the Menagerie book series.
