Summary

Asshole is a popular, but more complex and competitive turn based card drinking game. Your position each round yields to an initial pre-game advantage (or disadvantage), and positions are won by getting rid of your cards the fastest.

Equipment

Deck of cards

Alcohol

Setup

All of the players spread out and sit around a surface where cards can be played. The dealer equally disperses the cards amongst the players. If you've already played a round and players have positions, the card exchanges would take place before the first turn.

Rules

Turns: The President begins the game with the first turn, followed by the Vice President, then the middle of the pack people, and finally the Vice-Asshole and Asshole.

Playing Cards: Unless you're playing the first card of the hand, any card played must be equal to or greater than the card played prior to it. If an equal card is played, then the next person in line's turn is skipped this round. Aces are the highest non-special card, and 3s are the lowest (2 is a special card).

The hand ends whenever a full rotation of turns is complete, ending with the person who put down the last card. Following the end of a hand, the Asshole clears the pile, and whoever placed the final card on the previous hand begins this one.

When a new hand begins, if the person beginning the hand has a pair, triples, or quadruples of a card, they have the option of playing them all at once, and for the duration of this hand, only that specific pairing of cards can be played.

Special Cards: 2s are "special" in that a single 2 card clears the entire pile, and whoever dropped it begins the next hand. A single 2 can even clear a round of doubles, triples, or quadruples, but they can't be played out of turn.

Positions: Positions are deciphered based on the order that players were able to play all their cards. First to finish is President next game, second is vice president, second-to-last is Vice-Asshole, and last is Asshole. Anyone in between will be a Normal Player, with no specific special rules.
