A high-quality implementation of the popular card game Durak (Fool).
The card game "Durak" (also known as "Fool") is one of the most popular and widespread card games in the former Soviet Union. In this realization, you can play "Durak" offline without an internet connection, using a deck of 24, 36, or 52 cards.
"Durak" ("Fool") exists in two main variants: "Throw-in Fool" (Durak Podkidnoy) and "Transferable Fool" (Durak Perevodnoy). The rules for both are similar in some aspects but have their own nuances.
The goal of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards. The winner is the first to do so, and the last player left with cards becomes the "fool".
Throw-in Fool (Durak Podkidnoy) is the classic version of the game. In this mode, when the attacker has no more cards to play against the defender, the player to the defender's left may throw in one additional card. After that card is beaten, the right to throw cards returns to the original attacker. If the player to the left has nothing to throw, the opportunity passes clockwise to the next player. In essence, all players can throw cards, but only in turn. This is why it's called the "Throw-in Fool" or simply "classic Durak".
Transferable Fool (Durak Perevodnoy) extends the rules, making the game even more exciting. Starting from the second move, the defending player can "transfer" an attacking card by playing a card of the same rank from a different suit. The player next in the clockwise direction then becomes the defender, and they may also choose to transfer. This passing of the defense is why this variant is called "Transferable Fool".
