President (King & Scum, Ahole)

Deal cards evenly to all players; the starting player is determined by house rules or the highest card. Play one or more cards of the same rank or a valid sequence to lead a trick. Beat the current trick by playing a higher card combination of the same type or pass if you cannot or choose not to. Pass to skip a turn when you cannot beat the trick or want to save stronger cards for later. Clear the pile when all other players pass to win the trick and gain the lead for the next round. Rank players at the end of each round based on who sheds all cards first, then reshuffle and apply promotions or penalties for the next round.
