Play Durak online, free and without signing up

Durak is the card game of Russia, played at kitchen tables, on trains and in courtyards from Moscow to Vladivostok. The name means “fool”, and that is the whole point: there is no winner, only a loser. The last player left holding cards is the durak.

You each get six cards from a 36-card pack, and one card is turned up to set trumps. The attacker leads a card; the defender must beat it with a higher card of the same suit or with a trump. The attacker can keep throwing in cards of any rank already on the table, up to six. Beat them all and you become the attacker. Can’t, or don’t want to? Take the whole lot into your hand. After each round both players draw back up to six, and once the pack is gone the first to run out of cards is safe.

Here you play the computer at easy, medium or hard. A free coach checks every attack, defence and pick-up, and once the pack is empty it can tell exactly which move wins. Every deal is sealed before the cards are dealt, so you can check afterwards that the shuffle was fixed in advance. No ads, no coins and no account. How to play Durak · Games of Russia · Hearts
