Team Durak 2v2: rules and table positions
Team Durak is played by exactly four people. Partners sit opposite each other: seats 0 and 2 face seats 1 and 3.
How a turn works
The player to the attacker's left defends. The attacker's partner may throw in matching ranks alongside them. The defender acts alone, so a team should not spend every useful card in one attack.
Transfers are not available in Team mode. That mechanic belongs to the separate Transfer mode.
Winning the game
A team wins when both partners have shed their cards. If one partner is already out, the game continues for the other. A team loses when one of its players is the last person still holding cards.
Playing with a partner
Your partner's cards remain hidden, so decisions have to come from the cards already played. When your partner has a short hand, throwing in every possible card is not always helpful. They may benefit more from keeping the lead for the next turn.
Think about both hands on your team before throwing in. A card that adds little to the current attack may be important for your own defense one turn later.
Starting a team table
Create a room in Team mode and wait for four players. To play with people you know, make a private room and send the link to three friends.
Frequently asked questions
How many players in team mode?
Exactly four: two teams of two players. No more, no less.
How are players assigned to teams?
Teams are determined by seats: players 0 and 2 face players 1 and 3. There is currently no separate control for rearranging seats.
What if my partner disconnects?
Players have a 45-second reconnect budget. If they don't return, the team automatically forfeits.
Does transfer work in team mode?
No. Team 2v2 and Transfer are separate modes. An attack cannot be transferred in a Team match.
Where can I play Team Durak online?
Create a room in Team mode. A full table needs four players, so invite three friends or leave the room open.
