Use a standard 52-card deck. Deal all cards as evenly as possible. Card ranking (high to low): 2, A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3. The player with the 3 of clubs starts.

Finish first to become President (highest rank). Social hierarchy continues: Vice President, common players, Vice Scum, Scum. Rankings carry privileges/penalties in subsequent rounds.

The starting player plays a card or set of matching cards (e.g., three 7s). Play proceeds clockwise. Each player must play the same number of cards of equal or higher rank, or pass. When all players pass in succession (or a 2 clears), the last player to play starts a new round with any card(s).

Save your 2s - they clear the pile and give you control. Play pairs and triples when possible - harder for opponents to beat. Pass strategically to let others fight while you conserve high cards.

Revolution: Four of a kind reverses the card rankings for the rest of the round. Landlord (Chinese version): More complex with additional rules. Different clear cards: Some versions use Jokers or other cards to clear.
