Durak by Lost Token does a great job of making a virtual card game feel realistic and even gives you the ability to play with real opponents.įor those that aren't aware of the game, Durak is a card shedding style of play that uses trick-taking rules to establish who wins or loses a round and is popular in the post-Soviet states. Sure, the rules are easy enough to replicate, but it's so hard to replace the feel of playing a game with real cards and real people. The game will play on, however, while the ads are showing so you will sometimes end the ad and find yourself in the middle of a hand.Card games are often hard to represent accurately in video games. There are ads (I would prefer to be able to buy the option to disable them) but they are not overly intrusive. Lots of options so that you can play various styles. Original review: Durak is possibly my favorite card game, and this is a very well implemented version. Will change rating once the game is playable. The developer has recommended resetting the game from the main menu, but this isn’t possible when the game won’t progress to a menu to begin with. This makes me wonder if it is either a problem connecting with the ad server or if there is something else that the app is trying to do with an internet connection when it starts up.Įarlier update: With the most recent update the game will not open, but freezes at the main screen. I believe I have discovered the root of the problem: if I am in airplane mode (or in an area where I have no internet connectivity) the game will open fine.
