Attack, defend, and do not be the fool

Durak is the game where nobody wins tricks and everybody fears the same thing: being last. Attack your neighbor, defend against the table, and shed every card you hold, because the last player left holding cards is the fool.

How it plays

Durak in three steps.

  1. The thirty-six card deck runs six up to ace, everyone gets six cards, or five at a full table, and the turned card sets trump.

  2. Attack the player on your left, others throw in matching ranks, and the defender covers each card or takes the whole table.

  3. Once the stock is gone, players go out as their hands empty, each place scores points, and after five deals the highest total wins.

The moments you play for

Why Durak gets under your skin.

Two to six players and some friendly revenge.

Throw in

Once an attack is open, anyone but the defender can pile on more cards of a rank already on the table.

Take the table

Cannot cover everything? Pick up every card on the table and the next attack skips right past you.

Dodge the fool's seat

There are no points for tricks here, only the shame of being the last player still holding cards.
