Two-player Durak – a one-on-one duel

A Durak duel is the tensest game there is: every card counts, and by the end you know your opponent’s hand almost by heart. In Durak Tab Joy you can play for two with a friend by link, against a bot or against Liza the cat.

Durak Tab Joy – a one-on-one card duel

In short

With two players Durak is faster and fairer: nobody else throws in cards, and it all comes down to your memory and your counting. Only the attacker throws in, and after each round you both draw back up to six, the attacker first.

When the deck runs out, the real game starts: the discarded cards are known, and a good player can work out exactly what the opponent is holding.

What's in the game

With a friend by link

Open a private table and send the link; your friend sits across from you, even in another city.

Liza the cat

A royal Maine Coon who plays one-on-one, purrs when she gets lucky and teases you for mistakes.

Bots on three levels

Easy, medium and hard, and the hard one remembers every card played.

24-card blitz

A short deck and a game in two or three minutes.

House rules

A 24, 36 or 52-card deck and your own limits on throwing in.

Tips for two-player Durak

  1. Count trumps: a 36-card deck has nine.
  2. Do not spend trumps on low cards early; they decide the endgame.
  3. Remember what has been discarded: with two players it is a huge edge.
  4. Once the deck is gone, attack with pairs and cards your opponent cannot beat.
