President
Beat the pile with a higher set, shed your hand, and rule as President.
How to play President
The deck is dealt to you and three computer players, and cards rank from 3 (lowest) up through the Ace to the 2 (highest). The lead plays any single card or a set of equal rank — a pair, triple or quad — and each player after must play a set of the same size but higher rank, or pass. When everyone else passes, the last player to lay cards clears the pile and leads again. Tap a card to select it (tap more of the same rank for a set), then press Play, or press Pass. The first player to empty their hand becomes President, then Vice-President, then Citizen, and the last one out is the Scum.

President — frequently asked questions
Is President the same game as Scum or Asshole?
Yes. President is played all over the world under names like Scum, Asshole and Daihinmin. The core rules are identical: beat the pile with a higher set of the same size and race to shed your hand.
What is the card ranking in President?
Threes are the lowest card and twos are the highest, with the order running 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace, 2. So a 2 beats an Ace, and a pair of Kings beats a pair of Queens.
How do I play a pair or a triple?
Tap one card to select it, then tap the other cards of the same rank to add them to your set — the count must match the number of cards currently on the pile. When your set is a legal, higher play, press Play.
How do I become President?
Be the first player to get rid of every card in your hand. The order that players finish sets the titles: first out is President, then Vice-President and Citizen, and the last player holding cards is the Scum.
