Durak
Attack, defend, or scoop the lot. Last one holding cards is the fool.
2 to 6 players · Cards · Social · About 8 to 15 min · Tapping · Great against computer players
How to play
- Everyone gets six cards, and one suit is trumps: it's the card peeking out from under the stock.
- The attacker lays one or more cards of the same rank, and the defender must beat every one with a higher card of the same suit, or with any trump.
- Beat the lot and those cards are gone for good. Can't or won't, and you scoop the whole table into your hand.
- While a bout is open, anyone else can pile on with cards matching a rank already on the table.
- Everybody tops back up to six while the stock lasts. Empty your hand and you're safe, and the last player still holding cards is the Durak.
