Drunkard

About game

The classic Soviet card game known as drunkard remains a staple of nostalgia because of its pure reliance on chance and rapid-fire rounds. Players face off in a high-stakes duel where the simple flip of a card determines the entire outcome of the match. You start by choosing between a 36 or 52 card deck before entering an intense battle of luck against a computer opponent. Each turn involves drawing a card simultaneously, with the highest value cardholder capturing the entire pile. When both players reveal identical cards, the game triggers a suspenseful dispute phase involving a treasure pile that adds significant weight to the next draw. This unique mechanic ensures that every session feels unpredictable and engaging until the very last card is played. Tracking your progress is seamless thanks to the built-in victory and defeat counter that monitors your performance over time.

How to play

Rules of the game:

1. Choose one of two modes (52 or 36 cards).

2. At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt an equal number of cards from the deck face up, the player does not see the cards.

3. Tap your deck to draw 1 card at random, your opponent does the same in return.

4. Whose card on the table is higher in value takes both cards.

5. If both players draw cards of the same value, this situation is called a "Dispute". The "Dispute" is played as follows:
- each player draws one more card from his hand, face up, and places it on the table to form a "Treasure".
- Then each player takes out 1 card again, face up.
- Whose card is higher in value takes all the cards from the table.
- If as a result of the dispute a dispute is formed again, the "Dispute" cycle is repeated.

6. If a player has no cards left in his hand, he loses.
