The whole game
in twenty seconds
Matches take about five minutes.
Attack
Lead any card at the player on your left. Once a rank is on the table, anyone can pile on more of it.
Defend
Beat every attack with a higher card of the same suit, or any trump. Can't beat it? You pick up the pile.
TrumpCut at random every game. It beats the other three suits.
Don't be last
The deck runs out, you try to get rid of all your cards. Whoever is last holding cards is the durak. The fool deals next.
Set the table your way
Two variants, three deck sizes, up to six seats, honest or not. The menu remembers how your kitchen plays.
Four people you have
definitely met
Difficulty is a person here. Every face is painted in code by the game itself, and every line of table talk was written by hand, in Russian and in English.
Hover a face, or tap it, to change the mood
Tolya
Still learning the ropes. Practices against his grandma, quotes her constantly.
"I meant to do that."
Zina
Sharp from dacha summers. Punishes the obvious move with a gardener's patience.
"Not my first rodeo, dear."
Semyonych
Thirty years on the night train. He has seen your trick before, twice, in worse weather.
"Not bad. For a passenger."
Baba Shura
Counts every card since 1962. Reads the whole endgame and never bluffs about it.
"I count. That is the whole secret."
Cheat mode.
Yes, really.
Flip one switch and the table goes dishonest on purpose. Everyone knows. That is the game.
- Sneak a wrong card into the attack.
- Stack two cards and play them as one.
- Call it when you smell a trick. Right, and they eat the pile.
- Wrong call: you eat it.
Caught once, you take the table. Twice, you play face up. Three times, you are the durak on the spot. The bots watch the felt too. ♠ Baba Shura refuses to sit at these tables.

Small game, long menu
Difficulty is a person. Tolya blunders in waves, Zina punishes greed, Semyonych counts what is gone, Baba Shura sees endings.
Every finished game gets a review: the move you played, the move that was better, and a school grade you will argue with.
One puzzle position a day, the same for everyone. Solve it in fewer moves than your friends and say so at dinner.
No signal, no problem. Planes, metro tunnels and the dacha with no wifi are all fine tables. Your rivals are already in your pocket.
Send a replay link after a good game. Your friends watch it back move by move and argue about your third turn.
The faces are drawn in code, the sounds are built in code, and every line of table talk was written by a person who plays.
Fair questions
Asked at the tableThe ones people actually ask before they sit down. Straight answers, no asterisks.
Still not sure · read the rules →♠What exactly is durak?
The most played card game in the Russian speaking world. Two to six players attack and defend with a 36 card deck; the last player holding cards loses and is the durak, the fool. There is no single winner, only one loser. It teaches you fast.
♥Is it really free?
Yes. No price tag, no paywall, and no forced ads, ever. If ads come at all they will be optional ones you choose to watch for cosmetics. That is a design rule, not a promise of convenience.
♦Do I need an account?
No. Pick a name, sit down. Online play works as a guest; your table, stats and streaks live on your device.
♣Where can I play right now?
In any browser at play.drk.gg, phone or desktop. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. A drk.gg/j/CODE link from a friend takes you straight to their table.
♠Is online play fair?
The deck is shuffled by the referee server, never by a player's device, and every move is validated server side. Leaving a live game counts as the loss it is. In cheat mode the cheating is the point, and it follows the same rules for everyone.
♥Which variants are in?
Podkidnoy (throw in) and perevodnoy (transfer), with 24, 36 or 52 cards and two to six seats. On top of that: 2v2 with a partner against another pair, offline or online, a ranked ladder with calendar month seasons, and cheat rooms where the dishonest moves are part of the rules. All of it is in the game today.
