Built with care for players who love the classic game.
Face off against an adaptive AI with three difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, and Hard. The AI plays strategically and keeps every match challenging.
Play Podkidnoy, the classic throw-in variant, or Perevodnoy, where defenders can redirect the attack. Both played with a full 36-card deck.
Every win counts. Compete on a global leaderboard through Apple Game Center and see how your skills stack up against players worldwide.
No internet connection required. Durak works fully offline — perfect for commutes, flights, or anywhere you want a quick card game.
Choose from three distinct themes — Clean, Classic, and Casual — each with its own color palette, card style, and table design.
Cards fly, flip, and arc across the table with fluid animations and haptic feedback that make every move feel satisfying.
Durak uses a 36-card deck (6 through Ace). The last player holding cards is the "Durak" — the fool and the loser. Here are the basics:
The last card drawn from the deck sets the trump suit, which beats all other suits.
Attack your opponent by playing a card from your hand onto the table.
Defend by placing a higher card of the same suit, or any trump card.
If you can't defend, you pick up all table cards and your opponent attacks again.
Draw from the deck after each round to refill your hand to six cards.
The first player to empty their hand wins. Don't be the Durak!
Pick the look that suits your style. Switch anytime in Settings.
Dark green table with crisp white cards and a cool blue accent. Clear, modern, and easy on the eyes.
Deep burgundy felt with cream-toned cards and gold accents. Traditional and elegant — just like a real card table.
Dark charcoal surface with bold purple accents and heavy rounded fonts. Relaxed, fun, and great for quick sessions.
