About this game

Strong Durak players remember every card that has been played. They know who picked up what, how much of each suit is left and which of your cards nobody can beat. Durak X-Ray puts that picture on your screen, so you see the game the way they do and learn to play like them.

The memory knows only what happened on the table. It never looks at hidden cards.

Durak X-Ray is Durak, the Russian card game also known as Fool, played offline against one, two or three computer players. Play the classic throw-in version (Podkidnoy) or transfer Durak (Perevodnoy), where the defender can pass the attack on. Deal the usual 36 cards or a full 52-card deck.

PLAY BETTER WITH IT
• Play with the memory on and notice which facts decide a game
• Tap your card before you play it to see the chance the defender beats it
• Tap an opponent to see what they picked up and what they probably lack
• Switch the memory off when you are ready and keep count in your head
• Test yourself against hard bots that remember the whole game

WHAT THE MEMORY SHOWS
• The exact hand of the last opponent still hiding cards once the deck is empty
• Which cards are out of play and how many of each rank are left
• The cards each opponent picked up and still holds
• The chance the defender can beat the card you are about to play, and in transfer Durak the chance they pass it on
• The highest card of every suit still in play, and the cards in your hand nobody can beat
• Who certainly has no trumps or no cards of a suit, how many trumps are left, how many cards in play beat each of yours and which of them the defender cannot beat or transfer
• What an opponent probably lacks: a player who took a nine instead of beating it likely has no higher card of that suit and no trump
• A move-by-move log of the whole game
