Durak

Durak

Russia's most popular card game. Attack, defend, or pick up — don't be the last fool!

Rules / Config

  1. Durak is played with a 36-card deck (6 through Ace) by 2–6 players. A trump suit is determined by the bottom card of the stock. The goal is to get rid of all your cards — the last player holding cards is the "durak" (fool).
  2. On each turn, the attacker plays cards and the defender must beat each one with a higher card of the same suit or any trump card. If the defender cannot or chooses not to beat all attacks, they must pick up all cards on the table.
  3. After each bout, players draw from the stock to replenish to 6 cards. Other players may join the attack by adding cards matching ranks already on the table. The game ends when all cards are played — the last player with cards loses.
