Mastering Durak Online: A Comprehensive Guide

The goal in Durak is to be the last player without cards. Failure to effectively defend or play cards results in becoming the "Durak" (fool), and losing the game.

Let's break down the gameplay step-by-step:

1. Game Setup:

● The Deck: A standard 36-card deck (6 to Ace in each suit) is used.

● Players: 2 to 6 players can participate, individually or in teams.

● Game Start: Each player receives six cards. One card is flipped to determine the trump suit (which outranks all other suits).

2. Gameplay Mechanics:

● Attacking: The player to the dealer's left initiates the attack by playing a card. The target can be any card in the center (if multiple cards are present) or an empty space.

● Defending: The defending player must "beat" the attacking card with a higher card. Failure results in drawing cards from the deck.

● Trump Suit's Power: A trump card defeats any non-trump card, regardless of value.

● Chain Attacks: Following the initial attack, other players can add cards to the pile, and the defender must beat all of them.

● Replenishing Hands: After a successful defense, players draw cards to maintain a six-card hand (if cards remain in the deck).

3. Rounds and Elimination:

Gameplay continues until a single player holds all remaining cards, becoming the Durak. Players take turns attacking and defending, striving to avoid being the last player with cards.

4. Game Conclusion:

The game ends when all but one player have emptied their hands. The player with remaining cards is declared the Durak.
