Description
Durak (Stupid)

Preparation

Except for the first game of the evening, the loser of the previous game is the dealer.
Shuffle the cards.
The dealer asks the person to his left to cut the deck. Optional: If this is not the first game of the evening, the player may opt not to cut the deck by saying "Nye snimayu shapkee Doo-rah-kam" ("I do not tip my hat to idiots"). The dealer must go around the table asking for people to cut the deck. If all refuse, the dealer cuts the deck.
If the small deck is used, deal six cards to each player. If the large deck is used deal seven (usually) or six (rarely) cards to each player depending on general agreement.
After the players have received all their cards, reveal the top card of the deck. Place it on the middle of the table, place the deck on top of the revealed card, covering it half way. This card represents the trump suit and is now at the bottom of the deck. Cards in this suit hold a higher value then the Aces of the other suits. Within the trump suit card hierarchy is maintained. Optional: Before game play begins the player who holds a two (large deck) or six (small deck) of the trump suit in their hand may opt to exchange their card for the revealed trump card. This may only be done before the game begins.

Game Play

The game consists of a series of attacks (where players get a chance to get rid of cards) and defenses (where players are threatened with having to add cards to their hand unless of course they are succesful in defending themselves).
Each player gets a turn to defend himself. As players are eliminated from the game, the order of defenders must be maintained (see notes below).
The first attacker is the player on the left of the dealer (dealer attacks last). The defender is the player to the left of the attacker. Game play procedes clockwise.

Attacking

Attacker reveals a card from his hand by placing it on the table so all can see.
After the first card has been defended all players become attackers and may add cards to the table as long as they are of the same face value as other cards in play.
Maximum cards to be defended must be as many as have been originally dealt to each player (6 or 7) or until the defender runs out of cards, whichever is less.

Defending

Defender must respond to the revealed card by beating it with a card of the same suit of higher value or a card of the trump suit.
If the defender has no appropriate card he must pick up the card and add it to his hand, thereby losing his turn to attack. If the defender picks up the first attacking card, the turn is over.
If the defender beats the first card, all other players may join in as attackers.
Defender must beat all revealed cards. Otherwise he must pick all cards in play including ones that have been beaten.
Maximum cards to be defended must be as many as have been originally dealt to each player (6 or 7) or until the defender runs out of cards, whichever is less.
A successful turn ends when the defender beats all attacking cards. All cards that have been revealed during this turn are removed from the game.

End of Turn

When a defender has successfully beaten all the attacking cards, all the cards that have been in play are removed from the game.
Every player must take his turn to refresh his hand by taking as many cards from deck as needed to bring his hand to a total of as many as have been originally dealt to each player (6 or 7). The original attacker refreshes his hand first. All other attackers follow in clockwise order. Defender refreshes his hand last.
If the deck has been exhausted, players who are left empty handed withdraw from the game. They are lucky, for they will not have a chance to lose.
The player who completed a successful defence becomes the next attacker against the player to his left. If the defender was not successful, the player to his left becomes the attacker.

Endgame

The endgame begins as soon as the deck is exhausted and there are no more cards to refresh one's hand. As cards and players are eliminated, strategy becomes much more important than luck. The last two players battle out their fates, until one player remains with cards in hand. This player is the Durak and the dealer of the next game. (There have been games where there was no loser when two players remain each holding one card. The attacker reveals his card. The defender happens to be able to beat it. The game is over without a loser. But this happens very rarely.)
