Experience the classic card game Durak (Fool) – a beloved pastime across the former Soviet Union – now available for offline play! This high-quality implementation lets you enjoy Durak with 24, 36, or 52 cards, anytime, anywhere.
Durak features two main variations: "Flip Fool" (Durak podkidnoy) and "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy). Both share similarities but offer unique strategic challenges. The objective remains the same: be the first to discard all your cards and avoid becoming the "Fool."
In "Flip Fool," the classic version, players take turns attacking and defending. When a player can't defend, the next player to their left assists. This continues until all players have had a chance to contribute.
"Transferable Fool" adds a layer of complexity. From the second turn onward, the defending player can "transfer" a card by playing a matching rank of a different suit, shifting the attack to the next player. This dynamic element significantly increases the game's strategic depth.
This game boasts:
- Offline play – no internet connection required.
- Stunning visuals with various table, card, and back designs, including "satin cards."
- Flexible card sorting options.
- Optional card highlighting.
- Customizable deck sizes (24, 36, or 52 cards).
- Authentic "Flip Fool" and "Transferable Fool" rules.
- A "Basic" mode for simplified gameplay against only one opponent.
- A maximum of 5 cards thrown in the first round.
- Restrictions on "transferring" in the first round of "Transferable Fool."
- In "Transferable Fool," covering a card with a trump of the same rank requires dragging your trump onto the card to be covered.
