The deck used to play Durak
Durak as it might have looked 70+ years ago.
Perevodnoy Durak.  North played 8C, which East passes on with 8D, 8S.  South tries to fight it off but gets hit with more cards.  At least he drew out the Aces.
Some tokens to keep track of whose attack it is. Defender token not strictly necessary I suppose, but we sometimes play подкидной and its fun to throw it to the next person along with the card.

Overview

Durak is the most well known and popular card game in Russia and Ukraine. Durak, meaning fool, is the title given to the loser of the game - the last player to get rid of their cards. It is a game of skill and can be played by two to six players playing individually or with four people, playing in two teams of two.

Durak uses the Russian deck of 36 cards or can be played with a standard deck of cards with the 2-5 inclusive removed.

Popular variants of the game include Podkidnoy Durak (Throw-In Durak) and Perevodnoy Durak (Transfer Durak) where the key difference is that in Perevodnoy Durak a defender may pass the attack to the next player by playing a card that matches the rank of the attacking card.
