Durak
About the game and how to play
Durak is the most popular card game across the former Soviet Union. A trump suit is set, and players take turns attacking and defending. The aim is to get rid of your cards as fast as you can — whoever is still holding cards at the end is the “durak”, the fool. Play alone against bots or online with up to 6 friends.

How to play
- Choose a game against bots or an online room; the trump card is turned up automatically.
- The attacker plays a card; the defender beats it with a higher card of the same suit or a trump.
- If you cannot beat the attack, you pick up the cards on the table.
- The first to shed all their cards wins; the last one holding cards is the durak.
