Durak in a nutshell

Played with 36 cards (6 through Ace) by two players, six cards each. The attacker plays cards and the defender covers them with higher cards of the same suit or with trump. Once the deck runs out, the first player to empty their hand wins — whoever is left holding cards is the "durak", the fool.

Which card beats which?

One covering rule covers every situation:

Situation	Winning card
Same suit	The higher-ranked card
Different suit (non-trump)	Only a trump can beat it
Trump on non-trump	Trump always wins
Trump on trump	The higher-ranked trump

Frequently asked questions

How many cards are used in Durak?

36 cards — ranks 6 through Ace in all four suits.

How many players play Durak?

In this version two players duel head-to-head: attacker versus defender, with an AI opponent available at any time.

What is the trump in Durak?

The suit of the card flipped after the deal. Trumps beat every other suit, and the flipped card itself stays visible and is drawn last.

What happens if I cannot defend?

You declare "take": the attacker may add more matching cards, then you pick up every card on the table into your hand — and you defend again in the next bout.

When does the game end and who loses?

When the deck and the flipped card are gone and either hand empties. Whoever is left holding cards is the durak (the loser); if both hands empty together, the deal is a draw.

How many cards does each player get?

Six each. After every bout both players draw back up to six — attacker first, then defender.
