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

The card game "Durak" ("Fool", "Dumb") is renowned as one of the most popular and widely enjoyed card games throughout the former Soviet Union. With this high-quality implementation, you can enjoy "Durak" ("Fool") offline, without an internet connection, using a deck of 24, 36, or 52 cards.

"Durak" ("Fool") comes in two main variants: "Fool Flip" (Durak Podkidnoy) and "Fool Transferable" (Durak Perevodnoy). While the core rules are similar, each variant has unique nuances that enhance the gameplay experience.

The primary objective of the game is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible. The first player to do so emerges as the winner, while the last player left holding cards is dubbed the "fool" (durak).

Fool Flip (Durak Podkidnoy)

Fool Flip, or Durak Podkidnoy, represents the classic version of the game. Here, if the attacker has no more cards to play against the defender, the player to the defender's left takes over. Initially, this player can only throw one card. Once this card is beaten, the turn returns to the original attacker. If the player to the left of the defender has no cards to throw, the turn moves clockwise to the next player. This dynamic allows all players to participate in throwing cards, albeit in sequence, hence the name "Flip Fool" or "Durak Classic".

Fool Transferable (Durak Perevodnoy)

Fool Transferable, or Durak Perevodnoy, introduces an exciting twist to the rules. Starting from the second move, the defender can "transfer" a card played against them by laying down a card of the same rank but a different suit. This action shifts the defense to the next player in a clockwise direction, who can also choose to transfer. This variant's ability to pass the defense around the table adds a strategic layer, earning it the name "Fool Transferable".
