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

The card game "Durak" ("Fool", "Dumb") is one of the most beloved and widely played 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 primary variants: "Fool Flip" (Durak podkidnoy) and "Fool Transferable" (Durak Perevodnoy). While the core rules are similar, each variant has unique nuances that enhance gameplay.

The objective of the game is to be the first to get rid of all your cards, thus becoming the winner. The last player left with cards 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 player to the defender's left takes over. They can only play one card at a time. Once this card is beaten, the right to play returns to the original attacker. If the player to the left of the defender has no cards to play, the opportunity moves clockwise to the next player. This allows all players to participate, albeit in turn, which is why it's called "Flip Fool" (Durak podkidnoy) or "Durak classic."

Transferable Fool (Durak Perevodnoy) adds an exciting twist to the game. From the second move onward, the defending player can "transfer" a played 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 further. Hence, it's called "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy).
