TIPS AND TRICKS OF PLAYING SCUM

Don't trust anyone. The purpose of the game is to WIN!!!

When playing remember no one likes to be in SCUM forever.
Sometimes when you are President and you know that you will win the hand it's nice to help out those little people in the SCUM position.

If you are definetly going to win then help them out by trading them good cards.

Note: That SCUM play always goes in a clock wise motion. President ALWAYS BEGINS THE PLAY FIRST.

GETTING STARTED
After the SCUM deck is shuffled, each player draws 1 card. The person with the highest card is designated as President and sits at the head of the table. The remaining players then sit in descending order until the person with the lowest card is seated to the immediate right of President. This player is designated SCUM.

(Refer to the diagram above to see how each player is seated and what rank they are given.) This is the seating arrangement for the entire first series. In event of a tie (drawing the same card number) a second card is drawn and the higher number receives the higher seating position

HOW TO PLAY ROUND 1 OF SCUM
The President plays a card (or cards) to begin the game. Play continues to the left until everyone has had a chance to play or pass. Once every player has either played or passed, the round is over.

Anytime a President or Wild President Card is played, the round immediately ends.

SCUM gathers the played cards and lays them face down in a discard pile. Whoever ends the round wins the lead for the next round.

Play continues around the table again, until someone has gone out. This person becomes the President for the next series.

The remaining players continue playing until all but one player have gone out.

The sequence in which players go out determines seating order for the next series. (The first player to go out becomes President, second out becomes the Vice President, third out sits next to Vice President as Middle Class, and so on until the last person holding cards becomes SCUM.)

After the series ends, each player reseats themselves and receives points according to this order. Another series is begun and play continues as described above.
