Learn by defending
An interactive rules example explains how higher cards and trumps answer an attack.
Cards that feel like cards
Drag and release, or use tap and keyboard controls. The painted table adapts to a smaller screen.
Its own little universe
A painted pavilion, expressive cast and illustrated deck preserve the Nu Pogodi crossover.
Durak
The short version
The game includes a playable defence example and full rules. No stakes or live rewards in the free beta.
- Use a 36-card deck. One suit is trump. The aim is to avoid being the last player left with cards.
- An attack opens with a card. Further attacks use a rank already on the table, within the game’s attack limit.
- Defend with a higher card of the same suit, or a trump against a non-trump card. Only a higher trump beats a trump.
- Beat every attack to clear the table. If you cannot defend, take the table’s cards and try again with a less optimistic expression.
