Durak: Classic & Transferable

The card game "Durak" ("Fool", "Dumb") is renowned as one of the most popular and widespread card games in the former Soviet Union. With this high-quality implementation, you can 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 version has its own 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 becomes the winner, while the last player remaining is dubbed the "fool" (durak).

In the classic "Flip Fool" (Durak podkidnoy), when the attacker runs out of cards to play against the defender, the next player to the defender's left takes over. They can only throw one card at a time. Once it's beaten, the turn returns to the original attacker. If the player to the left of the defender has no suitable card, the turn moves clockwise to the next player. This variant is also known as "Flip Durak" or "Durak Classic" because all players can throw cards, but in turn.

The "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy) adds an exciting twist to the game. From the second move onward, the defending player can "transfer" a card thrown at them by playing a card of the same rank but a different suit. This shifts the defense to the next player in a clockwise direction, who can then transfer the card again. This version is aptly called "Fool Transferable" due to this transfer mechanism.
