The 52 Qard Game Series · Reserve bench
President
Climb the pile, clear it, finish first and take the top seat.
How to deal
Deal the whole deck out as evenly as it goes. Twos are the highest cards and Threes the lowest. After the first hand the seats are ranked, and the lowest seats hand their best cards to the highest before each deal, taking any cards back in return.
How to play
The player with the 3 of clubs leads a single card or a set of equal cards. Each player in turn must play the same number of cards of a higher rank, or pass. When everyone has passed, the last player to play clears the pile and leads again.
How you win
The first player out is President and the last is the lowest seat, with the titles in between agreed at the table. Keep a running tally of finishing positions over the agreed number of hands; the most time spent as President wins the night.
