SCUM

Scum
Item needed: Rook Cards (depending on the players, you may need more than one deck.)
Object of the Game: Be President and have fun.
How to Play:
Figure out order – This can be done by letting everyone choose a card. The person with the highest card is president, the next highest is vice, etc. until the lowest card drawn is scum. You can also just play the first round without exchanging cards. Sit in the order of hierarchy. President, Vice to the Presidents left, etc. Play always going to the left or in order of hierarchy.
Order of cards – Rook takes all – Quadruplets, Triplets, Doubles, Anything. One is just under the rook. Then it is 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 being the lowest.
Deal the cards out starting with the President, Vice, Secretary, in order down to scum. Deal until all the cards are gone. If there are 4 players, the President gives the scum any card from their stack (usually the lowest) and the scum gives the President his highest card in his stack (it must be the highest). If there are 6 or more players. The President and scum exchange 2 cards in the same way as with 4 players and the Vice and Pee-on exchange 1 card (the pee-on must give the vice his highest card.)
Cards can be played on at a time or in groups. The groups must be of the same number. If you have two 4’s, you can play them as a double. Everyone else then must play doubles on top of them to play. Quadruplets or Triplets are the same way. If someone doesn’t have double, or Quadruplets or Triplets and that is what is being played they must say pass.
The first round always starts with the President going first, vice second, scum goes last. The President plays any card or group of cards from his/her deck. The next player must play something of higher value or say pass. The round continues until it gets back to the first player with everyone playing or saying pass. The person that laid down the highest card gets to start the next round. The first person to get rid of all of their cards is President for the next game. The second person is vice, etc., until the last person out is scum.
