Durak Online - A Beloved Game Since Childhood

This game is a truly Russian phenomenon - a pastime that everyone encounters in early childhood and that has saved us from boredom countless times. Usually, you learn its basics from friends, classmates, or sometimes even from cool parents (lucky ones, right?). The rules are simple and don’t require much patience to grasp. The main thing is to remember the suits and understand which cards are stronger or weaker. All other skills will come naturally with experience.

Advantages of Playing Online

Nowadays, everyone has a choice - play Durak with friends in person (though the older we get, the harder it becomes to gather everyone) or play Durak online on your favorite computer. Over the last few decades, most people have opted for the second option - and for obvious reasons. Imagine being at work, tired and busy, and suddenly having a few free minutes. Play your favorite childhood game online, refresh your mind, shift your focus to something pleasant - and in five minutes, you’ll be ready to work twice as efficiently.

Or a similar situation: you come home after a hard day, want to relax and unwind without much effort. Books require mental energy, TV and social media are boring. Playing Durak online on our website is the perfect solution - it’s fun, simple, and available any time of day.

Throw-in, Transfer, and 2v2 Team Modes

Our website offers several popular online variations of the game: the well-known Throw-in Durak, the dynamic Transfer Durak, and the 2v2 Team Durak. We’re sure you already know the rules, but if you’ve forgotten something, you can read them right on our site. The instructions are written in clear, simple language - understandable for players of any age or background.

The lowest cards are sixes, and the highest are aces. You don’t need to count points as in Preference or Thousand, and you don’t have to wait for specific combinations like in Poker. The goal is simple - to get rid of all your cards before your opponents do, leaving them holding part of the deck. Players use various tactics and strategies for this, and every experienced player has a few tricks up their sleeve. Bluffing is also welcome! You can play online Durak with two, three, or four players at once.

Each player receives six cards, a random trump suit is chosen, and the battle begins. The first move belongs to the player holding the lowest trump card - the six, or if none, then the seven, and so on. The goal of the others is to “attack” the defender, though there are nuances. It’s often beneficial in a two-player game, but not always when several opponents are involved. Sometimes it’s wiser to let the defender win the round to avoid being targeted next.

Throw-in Durak - Game Rules

Throw-in Durak is the most popular variation of the game, often referred to as the simple or classic version. A 36-card deck is most commonly used. The game can be played by 2-4 people. Each player receives six cards, and a trump suit is determined. If four players are using a 24-card deck, the suit of the last card becomes the trump. If there are cards left in the deck, the trump card is placed face up on the table, with the remaining cards on top of it.

The player holding the lowest trump card starts first, attacking the player to their left. You can lead with any card, but most players try to get rid of low cards first. You may lead with one or several cards of the same rank.

The defender’s goal is to beat all attacking cards. Players may throw in additional cards of the same rank as those already played. This continues clockwise. Once the main attacker finishes adding cards, others may join in turn. No more than 5 cards can be thrown in per round.

A card can be beaten by a higher card of the same suit or by a trump. If a player cannot beat all attacking cards, they must pick them up. The defender can also choose to take the cards immediately, but opponents may then throw in additional cards of matching rank, which must also be taken. If the defender takes the cards, their turn is skipped, and the next player begins. If they successfully defend, the cards go into the discard pile.

After each round, players draw cards from the deck in order, starting with the attacker, until everyone again has six cards. When the deck runs out, players continue with what they have. If a player ends up with no cards and the deck is empty, they win (in a two-player game) or sit out while the others continue.

In team play, if a player defends successfully and runs out of cards when the deck is empty, they leave the game, and their partner continues alone against both opponents. The last player or team left holding cards is declared the “Durak” - the loser.

не поверите, но я иногда прям жду времени, когда смогу зайти на ваш сайт сыграть в дурака с людьми, это как награда за плодотворный рабочий день, когда сделал много и устал. либо как утешение, когда день был тяжелым и нужно спустить пар.
