What is a "dirty little (or big) secret" about an industry that you have worked in, that people outside the industry really ought to know? : AskReddit. Durak. Durak (Дурак) is the Russian word for fool and is the name of a group of related games.
All these games are played no to find a winner, but to find a loser - the fool - who will be subject to various mockery, jokers, forfeits, etc. The game consists of a series of attacks in which one player leads one or more cards and another player (the defender) may try to beat them, in which case they are discarded from the game. If unable or unwilling to beat the attacking cards, the defender has to pick them up. The aim is to get rid of all one's cards, and the last player left holding cards is the fool. One of the punishments for the fool is the duty to deal the next hand, which is considered menial work. The best known of these games is Podkidnoy Durak (fool with throwing in) and when Russian players refer to Durak, they usually mean this game or one of its variants such as Perevodnoy Durak (transfer fool).
Euchre. Origins[edit] Euchre appears to have been introduced into the United States by the early German settlers of the state of Wisconsin,[3] and from that state gradually to have been disseminated throughout the nation.
It has been more recently theorized that the game and its name derives from an eighteenth-century Alsatian card game named Juckerspiel,[4] a derivative of Triomphe. Also, it may have been introduced by immigrants from Cornwall, England, where it remains a popular game. It is also played in the neighboring county of Devon; one theory is that it was introduced by French or American prisoners of war imprisoned in Dartmoor prison during the early 19th century.
Ombre is an ancestral form of Euchre.[5] Dealing[edit] Each player is dealt five cards (or seven if using the 32-card deck) in clockwise order in two rounds. The remaining four cards are called the kitty and are placed face down in front of the dealer toward the center on the table.
