Easy Standard
President
Climb the social ladder — or end up the Scum.
President (Daifugō in Japan, Scum or Asshole in the US) is a shedding game where players race to empty their hands. Finishing order determines a pecking order for the next round, with mandatory card trades between top and bottom players.
🎯 Objective
Be the first to get rid of all your cards and become President.
🃏 Setup
- Deal all cards evenly (extras go to the player left of the dealer).
- From the 2nd round on: Scum gives their best card(s) to the President; President gives back any card(s).
▶ How to Play
- The player with the 3♣ (or lowest card) plays first.
- Play moves clockwise. Each player must play the same card type (single, pair, triple) but HIGHER than the previous play, or pass.
- When all others pass, the last player to play starts a new round with any combination.
- The first player to empty their hand is the President; the last is the Scum.
📊 Scoring
Finishing order: 1st = President, last = Scum. Roles determine the card-trade handicap for the next round. Most President titles wins.
