We’ve created Durak 2.0 – no registration, no internet required.

What we already have for you:
-- Durak – classic and passing versions

-- Settings – you can customize almost everything: table and deck design, card sorting in hand, speed, animations, sounds, etc.
-- Rules – fully adjustable: no more than 6 cards can be thrown in, first discard is 5 cards, opponents from 1 to 3, 36 or 52 cards in the deck, AI difficulty settings
-- Auto-move – if the game situation allows no other actions, the game will press the button for you. Can be disabled
-- Highlight of possible moves. Can be disabled
-- At the end of the game – a fun fact

What we are preparing for the next updates:

Game rules:
Basics

Deck: typically 36 cards (6…Ace). A 52-card deck is possible by agreement.

Rank order: 6 < 7 < 8 < 9 < 10 < Jack < Queen < King < Ace.

Trump: suit shown by the bottom card of the stock; it stays face up.

Deal: 6 cards to each player, then reveal trump. The player with the lowest trump starts (or to dealer’s left on ties).

Objective: shed all cards; the last player holding cards is the durak (“fool”).

Players: 2–6.

Turn & defense (both variants)

Attack: attacker plays 1 card against the defender (the player to their left).

Defense: beat with a higher card of the same suit or any trump; trumps are beaten by higher trumps.

Adding cards: after the first attack in a round, others may add cards only of ranks already on the table, in turn order.

Limits:

The defender never has to face more cards than they currently hold.

Total cards on the table per round: max 6 (with a 36-card deck).

Taking: if any card remains unbeaten, the defender takes all cards; next attacker is the player to the taker’s left.

All beaten: if all are beaten, cards go to the discard; the defender becomes the next attacker.

Replenish: after the round, draw up to 6 cards in turn order starting from the attacker; the defender draws last.

Variants
Podkidnoy (Classic “Adding” Durak)

No passing/transfer. The defender either beats or takes.

Adding follows the general restrictions above.

Perevodnoy (Passing/Transfer Durak)

Pass/transfer: if the first attack card’s rank matches a card in the defender’s hand, the defender may pass the attack to the next player by playing a card of the same rank (suit irrelevant). Now that next player is the defender.

Passing is allowed only to the next player and only before any taking/discard ends the round.

Multiple passes are allowed provided:

the new defender can continue the pass,

the table never exceeds 6 cards total,

the current defender holds at least as many cards as are on the table.

After a pass, adding works as usual.

Ending the game
When the stock is exhausted, no more drawing; you play with what you hold.
Players who shed all cards are out; play continues until one remains — the durak.
