Play Durak Against a Smart AI or Friends
Durak is the most popular Russian card game. Play it here in your browser — three difficulty levels (Training with hints, Medium, Hard with Monte Carlo search), 2–4 players against AI, both Podkidnoy and Perevodnoy variants. No signup, full keyboard and screen reader support, three deck skins.
Choose 1v1, 1v2, or 1v3 against AI opponents.
Training shows hints; Medium and Hard play to win.
Podkidnoy is standard; Perevodnoy adds the transfer move.
Click a card, then a slot or action. Or use keys 1–9 plus B/T/A/P.
When the deck and hands are empty, the player still holding cards is the fool.

What is Durak?
A traditional Russian card game played with a 36-card deck. Players attack and defend; the last one holding cards loses.
How many players?
2 to 4. Our V1 supports 1 vs 1, 1 vs 2 (partnered), and 1 vs 3 (free-for-all).
What's the difference between Podkidnoy and Perevodnoy?
In Perevodnoy, the defender can forward the attack to the next player by playing a card of the same rank.
How smart is the Hard AI?
It uses Perfect-Information Monte Carlo with ~20 determinizations of opponent hands and 500 ms per move, running in a Web Worker so the UI stays smooth.
Will my progress be saved?
Statistics and achievements are stored in your browser's local storage and never leave your device.
Can I play offline?
Yes — the game runs entirely in your browser. Once the page is cached, you can play with no network.
Is online multiplayer available?
Not in this release — a 2 to 4-player online mode is coming next.
