## What is ScumGame?

Scum — also known as President — is the classic climbing card game, now on your iPhone and iPad.

Be the first to empty your hand. Win the round and you're President next round; finish last and you're Scum. Play singles, pairs, triples, or quads — beat the pile or pass, and watch four-of-a-kind clear it.

• Play solo against AI opponents, or online with 2–16 friends and family over Game Center
• Optional house rules: Taxes (card swaps between President and Scum), Wild Card Jokers
• Live scoreboard, play log, and round-by-round role rankings
• Clean, readable design — relaxing to play, easy to learn, hard to put down

Gather the table. Climb from Scum to President.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-02

Fixes for online and local play: the pile no longer clears a pass early after the player who took it goes out; online hosts no longer show a stale turn after auto-passing; "Sit out this round" now ends with the round; leaving a rejoined game no longer restarts matchmaking; jokers can be declared and played in turn-based games; a failed turn-based save now tells you instead of pretending it worked. Tapping an unplayable card now gives a cue, and Quick Match finds up to 6 players.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-27

Friends is fixed!

Tapping Friends previously failed to load anything. Scum now asks for permission properly and shows your Game Center friends, so you can invite them straight into a game.

Creating an online game is simpler
The New Game form — player count, game name, turn timer, Wild Cards, Taxes and Stacking — now lives in one place under My Games.

Rules fixes
• Playing a wild declared as the Top Card now clears the pile
• A Joker now counts as your highest card when taxes force a trade
• Fixed a table that could get stuck with no starting player

Online play is steadier
• Turn timers now count down reliably for everyone at the table
• Starting the next round or a rematch no longer waits on players who left
• Double-tapping Confirm Trade or New Round can't commit your move twice
• Resign now asks you to confirm first, and tells you if it fails

Plus a round of polish across the game board and lobby.
