Durak: Classic & Transferable

High-quality Implementation of the Most Popular Card Game Durak (Fool)

The card game "Durak" ("Fool", "Dumb") is renowned as one of the most popular and widespread card games across the former Soviet Union. Our high-quality implementation allows you to enjoy "Durak" ("Fool") offline, without an internet connection, using a deck of 24, 36, or 52 cards.

"Durak" ("Fool") comes in two main variants: "Fool Flip" (Durak Podkidnoy) and "Fool Transferable" (Durak Perevodnoy). While the rules share some similarities, each variant has its unique nuances.

The primary goal of the game is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible. The first player to do so emerges as the winner, while the last player remaining is dubbed the "fool" (durak).

Fool Flip (Durak Podkidnoy)

This classic version of the game is known as "Flip Fool" (Durak Podkidnoy). When the attacker has no cards to throw at the defending player, the next player to the left of the defender takes over. They can only throw one card at a time. Once it's beaten, the right to throw reverts to the original attacker. If the player to the left of the defender has no cards to throw, the opportunity passes to the next player in a clockwise direction. This allows all players to participate in throwing cards, but in turn, hence the name "Flip Fool" (Durak Podkidnoy) or "Durak Classic".

Transferable Fool (Durak Perevodnoy)

The "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy) adds an exciting twist to the game. 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 in a clockwise direction, who can also transfer the card to the next player, and so on. This variant is aptly named "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy).
