ROUND 2 OF SCUM

After GETTING STARTED and playing ROUND 1 -
Vice President re-shuffles all the cards and deals clockwise, beginning with President. (Deal out all the cards even though some players may receive an extra card.)

SCUM then trades his/her two highest cards to the President, even if they are Wild President Cards. President then passes whichever two cards he/she wants to give SCUM. Note to SCUM: Be sure to be honest when trading because the President will notice if you play a high card that he/she should have received.

Next to Scum then performs the same trade with the Vice President, but only one card is exchanged. (Exception: If there are only four players, the President and SCUM exchange only one card and the Vice President and Next to Scum do not trade.)

BASIC RULES FOR PLAY OF SCUM:

The President always begins the game.

No player is allowed to play more than once per round. First person to a certain point value wins.

During a round, you must always play a higher card than the previous one. If you cannot play, you must pass.

If the leading player plays doubles, the remaining players must also play doubles, or be forced to pass. (This rule applies to triples, quadruples, etc.)

One President or Wild President card always wins the round - even if doubles or triples are being played.
