This high-quality implementation brings the popular card game Durak (Fool) to your device. Durak, a widely played card game throughout the former Soviet Union, is now available for offline play using 24, 36, or 52-card decks.
The game features two main variations: "Flip Fool" (Durak podkidnoy) and "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy). While sharing similarities, each offers unique gameplay nuances. The objective remains consistent: be the first to discard all your cards and avoid becoming the "Fool."
Flip Fool, the classic version, involves sequential card play. When the attacker lacks a matching card, the player to the defender's left plays a single card. Play then returns to the original attacker. This continues until all players have had a turn.
Transferable Fool introduces a strategic twist. From the second turn onwards, the defender can "transfer" a played card by placing a card of the same rank from a different suit. This shifts the attacking role to the next player clockwise. This transfer can continue down the line.

- In Transferable Fool, covering a card with a trump of the same rank requires dragging your card onto the target card.
Strategy and Skill:
