Read this out first

President

Everyone races to get rid of their cards by beating the last play, with single cards, pairs or more. The order you finish in becomes your rank for the next hand, from President down to Scum. Then Scum has to give the President their best cards, so the rich stay rich.

Trade cards

Before the next hand, Scum gives the President their two best cards, and the President gives back any two. The second-to-last player and the Vice President swap one card the same way. Then the President leads.

How to win

Play as many hands as you like. Whoever is President at the end wins.
