21 durak 1.1.8

Durak

Durak (Russian: Дурак; "fool") is a traditional Russian card game that emphasizes strategic play and memory. The primary objective is to be the first player to dispose of all one's cards. The game concludes when only one player remains with cards in hand, at which point that player is designated as the durak.

The gameplay begins with the attacker playing a single card face up on the table as an offensive move. The defender then attempts to counter this attack by playing one or more defending cards from their hand. Non-trump attacking cards can be beaten either by a higher card of the same suit or by any trump card. Conversely, attacking cards of the trump suit can only be beaten by higher trumps.

If the defender successfully defends against all attacking cards, their turn ends and the attack shifts to the next player. If the defender fails to beat an attacking card, they become the attacker in the subsequent turn.

21 (Blackjack)

Blackjack, also known as twenty-one, is one of the most prevalent casino banking games worldwide. It involves comparing hands between a player and a dealer with the goal of surpassing the dealer's total without exceeding 21 points. Players aim to achieve a natural blackjack or a higher total through strategic decision-making.

Initially, each player receives two cards, with face cards (kings, queens, and jacks) valued at ten points. Aces can be counted as either one or eleven points, depending on which value benefits the hand. Other cards are valued according to their face value. Post-dealing, players may choose to "hit" and receive additional cards or "stand" to retain their current total. The dealer is obliged to continue drawing until reaching at least 17 points.

The winning conditions include attaining exactly 21 with the initial two cards without the dealer also having 21; having a final total higher than the dealer's without exceeding 21; or causing the dealer's hand to exceed 21 by drawing additional cards.

War

War is a straightforward yet competitive card game with a primary aim of collecting all remaining cards from opponents. The deck is evenly distributed among players, each receiving their own face-down stack. Simultaneously, players reveal the top card of their stacks in a "battle," with the highest card claiming both played cards based solely on rank—aces being high and suit insignificance.

If both players reveal cards of equal rank, a "war" ensues. During a war, each player places three cards face down and then reveals an additional face-up card. The player with the higher face-up card wins all cards on the table and adds them beneath their stack. If these face-up cards are again of equal value, the war continues with further sets of face-down/on face-up cards until one player's face-up card prevails.
