I giocatori a turno giocano carte dello stesso numero di quelle già in gioco ma di valore superiore. Si passa se non si può o non si vuole battere il gioco attuale. Quando tutti passano, l'ultimo che ha giocato pulisce la pila e guida il turno successivo.

1. Determining the First President: Before the first round begins, players may decide to determine the first President randomly or through a designated method, such as drawing cards or rolling dice.
2. Playing the Rounds: President is played in rounds, with each round consisting of several hands. The player to the left of the dealer starts the first hand of the round, and play proceeds clockwise.
3. Playing Cards: During each hand, players must play the same number of cards as the lead, but of higher rank. For example, if someone leads a pair of 7s, the next player must play a pair of higher rank (e.g., two 8s or higher). The 2 is the highest-ranking card. Players may pass if they cannot or choose not to play any cards. When all players pass, the last player who played clears the pile and leads the next hand.
4. Clearing the Pile: Whenever a player plays a card or combination of cards that clears the pile (no other player can beat the last played card), they have the option to start a new round by playing any card(s) to initiate the next hand.
5. Rank Advancement: The first player to empty their hand becomes the President for the next round. The second becomes the Vice President. The third becomes the Neutral or Middle Person. The last player becomes the Asshole (or other designated title).
6. Card Exchange (Taxation): At the start of each new round, the Asshole must give their 2 best cards to the President, and the President gives 2 unwanted cards back. The Vice President and the second-to-last player exchange 1 card in the same way. The President leads the first trick of each round. The Asshole deals the cards.

Il gioco continua per più round finché i giocatori decidono di terminare. Una variante comune prevede di giocare fino al raggiungimento di un punteggio prestabilito.
