📝 Special Statement

Here's a professional and clear description of the card game, suitable for a general audience:

"Durak: A Strategic Card Game of Evasion"

"Durak," meaning "Fool," is a popular card game for two players, originating from Russia and the former USSR. The objective is to strategically discard all cards from one's hand, avoiding the fate of being the "Durak" – the player left holding cards at the end of the game.

Gameplay Overview:

Objective: To be the first player to discard all cards.
Players: Two players.
Gameplay Mechanics:
Players take turns attacking and defending.
The attacker places a card on the table.
The defender must either "beat" the card or "take" it.
"Beating" a card involves playing a higher card of the same suit or a trump card.
Trump cards can only be beaten by higher trump cards.
If the defender successfully beats the attacking card(s), they initiate the next attack.
If the defender fails to beat the attacking card(s), they must take all the attacking cards into their hand, and the attacker continues.
Players replenish their hands from the deck, starting with the attacker.
Winning and Losing:
The first player to discard all cards when the deck is depleted wins.
The player left with cards in hand loses and is declared the "Durak."
A draw is declared if during the final attack a player discards all of their cards, and the other player successfully defends.
Game Modes: Play against AI or an opponent in online multiplayer mode.
Strategic Elements:

Managing hand size and card availability.
Strategic use of trump cards.
Anticipating opponent's moves.
Risk assessment when deciding to "take" or "beat" cards.
"Durak" combines elements of chance and strategy, offering a compelling card game experience for players of all skill levels."
