President (King & Scum, Ahole‪)‬ 12+

Can’t complain about what’s here. The touchscreen controls are very nice, the visual aesthetic is simple but crisp, computer opponents provide me enough of a challenge to keep my interest, and the game itself is what you expect out of Scum. And while there are a fair number of ads, they’re shorter and less intrusive than you see in most free-to-play. There are a few rule customization options, which is always nice, although there are two more that are needed: 1. The option to use two decks of cards. 2. The ability to change everyone’s seating location based on the order everyone went out in the prior hand. The latter especially throws me for a loop when I’m vice president and West is President and I’m like, “Wait, why am I going 4th?” Maybe that’s a much more localized rule than I would have anticipated, but seat order and its relation to how a hand plays out feels very important to me. Other than those two things, no complaints.

Hello! I’d like to see… 1) The 3 of spades reversal rule. Basically the lone 3 of spades beats the line joker. Example: 10, King, Ace, 2, Joker, 3 of spades. 3 of spades wins, and only in this scenario. 2) Suits. If I play 4-5-6 of clubs, someone else must play suits, but higher, such as 6-7-8 of hearts. Since the 8 was played, if playing the 8 clear rule, that would end the trick. 3) Downfall mechanic. If the president fails to be president again (so someone else empties their hand before the president) they are out of the round, all their cards are no longer in play. And they are Scum next round. Other than that I love how many options there are. The UI is great and the AI is very tough. I would recommend this app!

It’s a really fun game... but you’ll randomly be on a role of being President & then like on the 5th game of you having the President streak, you’ll play your last card and there will still be people playing and it says your scum. like. what???? no.

if you’re competitive like I am, that really annoyed the “you know what” out of me.
