How do I play?

Be the first to empty your hand. Beat the cards in the middle with a stronger single, pair, triple, run or four-of-a-kind — or pass. The 3♠ leads the first deal and a 2 is the highest card. Finish first to become President; finish last and you're the A-Hole. Tap How to Play on the menu, or run the built-in Tutorial, for a full walkthrough.

What's the card swap?

From the second deal on, the A-Hole gives their two best cards to the President, who hands any two back (you choose which). With four players the Vice-President and Vice-A-Hole swap one card too. Roles and scores carry across the match — the best total wins.

How do friends & online play work?

Set a username in your Profile so friends can find you.
Add a friend by searching their exact username on the Friends screen.
Play together — invite a friend into a match, create a private room and share the 4-letter code, or join a random table. You can play across iPhone and Android.
No sign-up is needed — you're signed in anonymously and identified only by the name you pick.

I can't find a friend / online isn't working

Make sure both players have set a username and have an internet connection.
Search the username exactly (it's not case-sensitive). You can't add yourself.
Online features need connectivity — on a flaky network, try again in a moment.

How is my score tracked?

Each deal awards points by finishing position, and they add up across the match. The Leaderboard shows your wins, podium finishes and win rate, with separate Global, Friends and Single-Player boards.

How do I reset my stats?

Go to Settings → Reset Stats. This clears your wins and places and can't be undone.
