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.

Key Features:

• Offline play – no internet connection required.
• Visually appealing graphics with a variety of table, card, and back designs, including "satin cards."
• Multiple card sorting options.
• Card highlighting (toggleable).
• Deck size selection (24, 36, or 52 cards).
• Classic "Flip" (podkidnoy) and "Transferable" (perevodnoy) Durak rules.
• "Basic" mode: play only against the player to your left.
• First hand limited to a maximum of 5 cards.
• "Transfer" unavailable on the first hand in Transferable Fool.
• In Transferable Fool, covering a card with a trump of the same rank requires dragging your card onto the target card.

Strategic Gameplay:

Mastering Durak demands strategic thinking and keen observation. Players must assess when to discard cards and when to hold them for opportune moments. Careful monitoring of opponents' actions is crucial to predict their remaining cards.

Durak offers a fun and engaging way to spend your time. Download this free offline game and hone your skills to outsmart your opponents!
