WHAT DOES ROOKY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rooky

Rooky is a Rummy-like card game based on the usage of a Rook deck rather than a standard 56 playing card deck. The rules, while closely resembling a simple game of Rummy, integrates some of Rook's popular elements, such as trick-tacking and team-play. The game is usually suggested for 2 - 5 players, though larger groups and teams are encouraged. There are also special rules for dealing with 6 or more players. The name 'Rooky' is thought to be a combination of Rook + Rummy.
