Application Description
This high-quality implementation brings the popular card game Durak (Fool) to your device. Durak, a widely played card game throughout the former Soviet Union, is now available for offline play with 24, 36, or 52-card decks.
The app features two main Durak variants: "Flip Fool" (Durak podkidnoy) and "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy). While sharing similarities, each variant offers unique gameplay nuances.
The objective remains consistent: be the first to discard all your cards to win. The last player holding cards is declared the "Fool" (Durak).
Flip Fool (Durak podkidnoy) adheres to classic rules. When the attacker lacks cards to challenge the defender, the player to the defender's left takes a turn, playing a single card. Play then reverts to the original attacker. If the left-hand player also cannot challenge, the turn passes clockwise.
Transferable Fool (Durak Perevodnoy) introduces added complexity and excitement. From the second turn onwards, the defender can "transfer" a discarded card by playing a matching-rank card of a different suit, shifting the attacking role to the next clockwise player. This chain can continue.
