Durak: Classic & Transferable

Experience the thrill of the classic card game Durak (Fool), one of the most beloved and widely played games in the former Soviet Union. This high-quality implementation allows you to enjoy Durak offline, without an internet connection, using a deck of 24, 36, or 52 cards.

Durak comes in two main variants: "Fool Flip" (Durak Podkidnoy) and "Fool Transferable" (Durak Perevodnoy). While both share some similarities, each has its unique twists and turns, making the gameplay engaging and dynamic.

The objective of the game is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible. The first player to do so is declared the winner, while the last player left holding cards is dubbed the "fool" (durak).

In the "Fool Flip" (Durak Podkidnoy) variant, which is the classic version, the game unfolds as follows: If the attacker cannot throw a card to the defending player, the player to the defender's left takes over. They can throw one card at a time. Once the card is beaten, the right to throw returns to the original attacker. If the player to the left cannot throw, the turn passes to the next player in a clockwise direction. This allows all players to participate in throwing cards, hence the name "Flip Fool" (Durak Podkidnoy).

The "Fool Transferable" (Durak Perevodnoy) variant adds an exciting layer of strategy. Starting from the second move, the defending player can "transfer" a thrown card by placing a card of the same rank but a different suit on the table. This shifts the defense to the next player clockwise, who can also transfer the card to the following player. This variant is aptly named "Fool Transferable" (Durak Perevodnoy).

Key features of this implementation include:

• Offline play without internet.
• Stunning graphics with a variety of "tables," "cards," and "shirts," including satin cards.
• Multiple options for sorting your cards.
• Highlighting of your cards (which can be turned off).
• Choice of deck sizes: 24, 36, or 52 cards.
• Classic rules for both "Flip" (Podkidnoy) and "Transfer" (Perevodnoy) Fool (Durak).
• A "Basic" mode for those who prefer a simpler game, where you only play against your left-hand neighbor, and no one else can attack.
• A limit of no more than five cards thrown on the first hand.
• In "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy), the first hand cannot be transferred.
• In "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy), if you have a trump card of the same rank as the one dealt to you and wish to cover rather than transfer, simply drag your card over the card you want to cover.

Playing Durak requires strategic thinking and the ability to analyze situations. You must decide when to play a card and when to hold onto it for a better opportunity. Observing your opponents' actions can help you predict their remaining cards, adding a layer of skill to the game.

Durak is a favorite among card game enthusiasts, offering a fun and exciting way to spend time. Don't miss the chance to test your skills and enjoy the vibrant emotions this game brings. Play Durak for free, offline, and sharpen your skills to outsmart your opponents.
