Card game Durak

Passing and throw-in durak against several opponents.

A deck of 36 cards is shuffled, and each player is dealt six cards. The top card of the remaining deck is revealed and placed at the bottom of the deck opposite it (so its face value is visible). This determines the trump suit. The player with the lowest trump card or the player to the left of the last loser begins.

The player to the left of the attacker is the defender. The next turn is clockwise. If the attack is successful, the defender skips their turn, and the attack passes to the next player. If the attack is unsuccessful, the defender becomes the attacker.

Aces are high cards. Trump cards are higher than any non-trump card. Non-trump cards can be beaten either by a high card of the same suit or by a trump card.

There is one winner and one loser. The first player to finish the game wins. The last player with cards remaining loses.
