About the Game

Challenge your friends in a high-stakes blend of card strategy and brutal arena combat, where a round of President decides your rank! Your hierarchy dictates your power in battle, letting you exploit your friends from the President's throne, or forcing you to beg for mercy as the Scum!

Your position in the hierarchy dictates your raw power in battle. Will you exploit your friends from the comfort of the President's throne, or will you be forced to beg for mercy as the Scum?

🃏 Phase 1: The Card Round

Get rid of your cards by any means necessary. The faster you empty your hand, the higher your rank, and the deadlier your weapon is in the arena.

  • Set the Pace: Start the pile with singles, doubles, triples, or quadruples.

  • Climb the Stack: Follow-up players must match or beat the current value and matching card count. Forced to pass? You're leaving yourself wide open for the next phase.

💣 Disrupt the Hierarchy

Don't just wait for your turn, seize it!

  • The Bomb (Twos): Drop a two at any time to instantly clear the board, reset the stack, and take total control.

  • Jumping In: Spot a matching rank on the table? If you hold the remaining suits to complete the four-of-a-kind, you can cut the line, slam them down, and clear the table instantly.
