Perevodnoy Durak

A full card table leaves no room for hesitation. A match of Perevodnoy Durak rewards the player who gets rid of every card before the rest of the group. Regular attacks don't tell the whole story here. Matching ranks lets pressure slide to the next seat, piling extra cards onto another player, and changing the order of play around the table. The loser is the last person still holding cards after everyone else has gone out.

How to play?

Lay down a card to attack. Cover it with a higher card of the same suit or with a trump. If you hold the same rank in another suit, place it on the table and pass the attack to the next player. That opponent either beats the spread or passes it again with another matching rank. After a successful defense, the defender attacks next. After picking up the table cards, the attack moves clockwise.
