The Game of President Using Deuces Rules
- This is a major variant of President using Deuces rules.
The usual rules of Deuces apply, with the following President game features:
- The first player to clear all his cards becomes the President for the next round. The players next to the new President can follow the President's last play if possible (singleton, pair, three of a kind, 5 cards). If no one can follow the President's last play or choose not to do so even when able (the player immediately next to the President has a strong incentive not to follow), the player next to the President gains control and may start a new sequence of his own. Eventually, this will produce the Vice-President, followed by the Vice-Bitch. The last player remaining becomes the Bitch for the next round.
- The first game proceeds without anyone being President, Vice-President, Vice-Bitch and Bitch.
- Subsequent games involve the following:
- President passes his lowest 2 cards to the Bitch. The Bitch passes his highest 2 cards to President.
- Vice-President passes his lowest 1 card to Vice-Bitch. Vice-Bitch passes his highest 1 card to Vice-President.
- A variant to the rule is where President passes any 2 cards to the Bitch, after receiving cards. This can make a difference as his 2 lowest cards may form a 5-card hand.
