Durak: Classic & Transferable

High-quality implementation of the most popular card game Durak (Fool)

The card game "Durak" ("Fool", "Dumb") is one of the most popular and widespread card games in the former Soviet Union. This 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 objective of the game is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible. The first player to do so wins, while the last player remaining is dubbed the "fool" (durak).

Flip Fool (Durak Podkidnoy) is the classic version of the game. In this mode, if the attacker has no cards to play against the defender, the next player to the defender's left can throw one card. After this card is beaten, the right to throw returns to the original attacker. If the player to the left of the defender has no cards to throw, the opportunity passes clockwise to the next player. Thus, all players can participate in throwing cards, but in turn, which is why this variant is known as "Flip Fool" or "Durak Classic."

Transferable Fool (Durak Perevodnoy) adds an exciting twist to the game. Starting from the second move, the defending player can "transfer" a card thrown at them by playing a card of the same rank but in a different suit. This shifts the defense to the next player in a clockwise direction, who can also transfer the card further. This dynamic gameplay is what gives this variant its name, "Transferable Fool."
