Durak (Fool) is a popular Russian card game, which is one of the most popular and widespread in the country. Durak (Fool) is played with a deck of 36 cards and requires from players not only strategic thinking, but also logic, tactics and the ability to make quick decisions. There are many varieties of this game. One of them is Fool with Noodle. Noodle is your virtual opponent, for which your computer will play. You will always see his cards (Noodle will not see your cards), which makes the game easier, but also adds variability, helping in choosing a winning strategy. The goal of the game, as in the classic Fool, is to get rid of all the cards left without dignity. At the beginning of the game, six cards are dealt to each player, and the remaining cards are left in the deck and placed on the table as a blank. The higher value card takes the lower value card or trump card. A player who cannot flip a higher card must take all cards from the table. A trump card in the game is a card that is chosen before the game begins. As a rule, trumps can be either the turned over top card of the deck or the card that the first player chooses. The trump card has a special significance, as it overcomes all cards except those of the trump suit.
