Players may rearrange their melds, causing other players' cards that have been laid off on those melds to be returned to their hands.

Russia has its own versions of international children's games such as Verish' ne Verish' ("trust - don't trust", a version of I Doubt It) and P'yanitsa ("drunkard", a version of War). Tysiacha (1000) uses 24 cards (ace down to 9 only). Other characteristic Russian games with the 36 card pack include Bura, Kozel, Tri Palki, Koroli and King - also known as Zhenskiy Preferans ("Women's Preference"). Durak is normally placed with a 36 card pack with cards from ace down to six.Īmong more serious card players Preferans is popular - it is played with a 32 card pack, lacking sixes.
