How to count points in President?

President (also known as Scum, A**hole, or Trouduc in French) is a social card game where players are ranked each round according to the order in which they get rid of their cards. The first to finish becomes President, the last is the Scum. Scorio assigns points based on ranking, making it possible to determine a true winner over a long gaming session.

  • President (1st out): receives the maximum points
  • Vice-President (2nd): receives a high intermediate score
  • Neutral(s): receive a middle score
  • Vice-Scum (second to last): receives few points
  • Scum (last): receives 0 points
  • Points accumulate round after round for an overall ranking

How does ranking work in Scorio?

At the end of each round, Scorio presents an intuitive ranking screen. You indicate the order in which players finished — from the first to the last to get rid of their cards. The app automatically assigns roles (President, Vice-President, etc.) and calculates the corresponding points. The point system is designed to reward top places while keeping the competition open: even the Scum can climb back up in the overall ranking.

What are the card exchange rules?

In the traditional version of President, roles involve a card exchange at the start of each round. The Scum gives their 2 best cards to the President, and the President gives 2 cards of their choice in return. The Vice-Scum and Vice-President exchange 1 card. Scorio does not manage the card exchange (it is done physically between players), but the score counter displays the roles so everyone knows who exchanges with whom.

How many players do you need for President?

President is ideally played with 4 to 8 players, which allows for all roles (President, Vice-President, Neutral, Vice-Scum, Scum). With 3 players, there is no Vice-President or Vice-Scum. With more than 8, the game is still fun but rounds take longer. Scorio accepts 3 to 99 players and automatically adapts the roles to the number of participants.
