Features of our version of the game:

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Simple we face and works on our ipad. Frustrating we cant log out of demo player.
Remind us old game we played at school.
This is the best card game so far.
It weak sometimes he win but sometimes make mistake like 3 yo child.
First we love the game, but adds pup up in beginning of the game! – we purchase game! We don't need see this apps! Second the upgrade game info NOT complete and trapping! You read 60% discount if you pay for all games, but don't tell you price!!! After click pay, you have to pay, and can't quit! We have to restart ipad !!! Be careful we don't trust this developers.
They want money for everything and then have adds on top.
This very nicely done game offers a rather realistic play. There are a couple of suggestions that we would recommend… It would certainly be more fair to automatically grant victory to a player if his opponent leaves the game (and visa versa, assign a loss to the one who left, in addition to penalty energy charge – although not as important). On a number of occasions we won, but our opponent just left… As a result we did not get our victory count up, and felt as if we lost our time, while pretty much wining the game. One more improvement would be to allow players to remain in the game after a party was played. As it is, win or loose, one doesn't get to play with the same opponent twice, except by accident. Additionally, it would be nice if we could send an invite to a friend(s), and play with a particular set of people. All in all, a very enjoyable pastime, highly recommend.
Just started playing around with it, but we can't seem to get the concept. We're sure we will like it once we figure it out.
There is not much to say other than its great.
We love it, so many options and so much fun.
It's a great app, and works and plays great.
Terrible AI and a scoring error (you win all ties) makes this an unsatisfying experience.
Cards are sometimes not drawn. Freezing problems, needs some fixing.
Very beautiful table and vintage cards.
The game is nice, great visuals, however, the knowledge of the computer is too high, it is obvious after much time with the game that it knows the user's hand and is able to perfectly play against it. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, there is no way for the user to turn it around against the computer.
Very, very good game and nice visuals but you can't turn around the hand with the same card value, so 4 stars for not utilizing all the game rules. So close to perfect.
We dont like this new version of Durak. Old one was much better, we been playing it for years, and now it is no fun.
Great graphics. We still remember the smell of old cards:).
Awesome. Easy to play and abides by all original rules. Great app, one of the few free apps that would be worth a dollar at least.
Awsome game bro, now can stay up all night and play this game without our friend avetis. Game doesn't wanna flip on the side of our ipad cover and we couldve sworn we paid for it might be our fault. We would like to see the naked girl cards and also the use of the reverse attack option. That is a unorthodox but used between players often.
We used to play this with our grandparents… Glad to see it on iPad.
A bit fast but very good overall.
Good game for free app. Great time killer.
We love it! We like how it captures the old Russian version of the cards. Also we like how the game recognizes that you do not have any cards to give and skips over you. Usually the other versions you have to tap to pass even though you don't have anything to give.
We played durak a few times with friends, so we thought this would be a great refresher to the game. The rules were incomplete and we found it very hard to understand the game. Look and feel is great, just improve the rules and maybe a tutorial.
It take a bit to understand the game if you are not familiarized with it. But once you do it can become addictive. Fun game.
First of all we're glad this is out so soon, we were looking for a good Durak game a little while back but there was nothing good available. This particular game reproduces the old cards from our childhood, which is a nice touch, the speed of the game is nice and everything seems fluid! The best thing about it is: It's Free! Two thumbs Up.
Very good. But there isn't network game.
Still getting the hang of it….not sure, how it's gona wrk for us. Dings cross.
In multiplayer, When you "grab" cards the only opponent that throws you extra cards is the one who was attacking you initially in the turn, the other two never throw extra cards…this makes the game less challenging izvinite :(.
