DURAKAn old favourite.
A new love.

Some games stay with you. We set out to fall in love with one all over again.

DURAK development build: six cartoon characters around an emerald-green table, with illustrated cards in the player’s hand.

Familiar cards. New stories.

A game that brings generations together.

A table. A deck of cards. Good friends. And that one moment when everyone seems to be playing against you.

DURAK is more than a card game. It is the memories, the close calls, the unexpected turns, and the evenings nobody wants to end.

At GRAUERPLAY Studio, we asked ourselves: what would this classic look like if we could imagine it afresh today?

Our answer is DURAK.

We want to keep the spirit that makes the game familiar, while giving it a whole new world to call home.

With lovingly illustrated characters, an inviting card table, and a game that feels like an old friend – just a little brighter, more polished, and full of life.

Inside the game

There’s a seat for you.

Real screenshots from our German development build. The design and features may change before release.

The game we’re making

Your table. Your cards.
Your rules.

A quiet round on your own or a challenge with friends: we’re building DURAK to fit the way you like to play.

The offline foundations are already playable in the development build. Online play, the full character selection, and purchases are still in development.

Play offline for free

Free rounds against computer opponents are our plan for launch. No internet connection needed.

Play online with friends

Planned

Invite your friends or meet other card-game fans. Online multiplayer is in development.

Two favourite variants

Play throw-in Durak or transfer Durak. Two ways to get those last cards out of your hand.

Two to six players

From a quick duel to a full table. Offline, you play against up to five computer opponents.

50 distinct characters

Development goal

Our goal is a cast of 50 unique cartoon characters. Meet some of the first faces below.

Three difficulty levels

Easy, normal, or hard. Find a challenge that suits your game night.

Make it your game

In offline play, choose whether only neighbours or everyone at the table may throw in cards.

Cards that feel natural

Arrange your own hand. Tap or drag to play a card, whichever feels right to you.

Three languages

German, Russian, and English. A familiar game with room for more people at the table.

A table full of personality

Every opponent has a character of their own.

Some play it safe. Others take a chance. And some are already smiling before their next card hits the table.

We’re building a world of distinctive cartoon characters. These six faces are already part of the development build. A cast of 50 remains our goal.

One more round?

Made with care.
And a generous helping of character.

We didn’t want to make a card game that simply works. We wanted to make one that makes you say: just one more round.

Characters who light up when they win. Opponents who can’t quite hide their disappointment. Cards that feel natural to play. And an atmosphere that makes every game night feel special.

A little nostalgia. A lot of personality. All DURAK.

A smile on one side. A long face on the other.
Joy and disappointment, shown by our illustrated in-game characters.

Planned platforms

A classic, ready for its next chapter.

We’re working to bring DURAK to smartphones, tablets, and Mac.

The aim is simple: a beautifully made card game that everyone can enjoy. No purchase required, no paid gameplay advantages, and no unnecessary complications.

For everyone who grew up with DURAK. And everyone about to discover it.

Our plan

The game stays free.

We plan to make DURAK free to play, both offline and online.

More personality. Entirely optional.

For players who want to make their table more personal, we’re planning optional premium features and cosmetic extras. Purchases will be voluntary and will not offer any gameplay advantages.

Platforms and purchases reflect our plans. A release date has not been announced.

In development · Coming soon

Soon, it’s time to
put your cards on the table.

DURAK is currently in development. We can’t wait to share a familiar classic with a fresh look and a character all its own.
