Description

Scum is a fast-paced and simple card game where players aim to rise through the social ranks. With 4 to 8 players, it's a great party game that's easy to learn and can be explained quickly. The goal is to get rid of all your cards first, which will eventually make you the president, while the last player standing becomes the scum. The game has a clever twist, where those higher up in the social order have an advantage over those below them, making it challenging to climb the ladder. The addition of trump cards like the President and Wild president adds an extra layer of strategy. If you've played games like Asshole or The Great Dalmuti, you'll recognize the mechanics, but Scum brings its own unique twists to the table, making it a fun and engaging experience that can be enjoyed in just 5 minutes.
