Why play on Rondo
How to play
The goal
Get rid of all your cards. The last player holding cards is the durak, the fool. There is no winner, only one loser.
Attack and defence
The attacker plays a card; the defender beats it with a higher card of the same suit or any trump. Other players may throw in cards of the ranks already on the table. A defender who cannot beat everything takes all the cards.
The deck and the end
After each round everyone draws back up to six cards while the deck lasts. Once it is empty, players who run out of cards drop out until one remains.
How it works
- Install Rondo and tap the game. No sign-up.
- An opponent is seated in seconds — a real player or a computer opponent if nobody is around.
- Say hi in the chat room for your language, challenge friends, play by mail when you’re busy.
