NekonyancerWelcome to *President,* a trick-taking climbing card game in the same family as Tichu, Red Ten, Sasaki, and Big Two. Your objective is simple: [red]*get rid of all your cards!*[/red] [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerThe game is played with a standard deck of cards and 1 Joker. The *entire* deck is dealt, regardless of the number of players, so sometimes players may have unequal hands. This is a 4-player game, so each player has *13* cards in their hand. They have been automatically sorted for you by number. [red]*3*[/red] is the smallest number and *[blue]2*[/blue] is the biggest! (Except for the Joker)2myhand_item_39000myhand_item_39 6 myhand_item_50 7
NekonyancerA game of President is divided into *rounds,* and each round is divided into *piles.* In each pile, players will play higher and higher value cards until everyone passes!3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Nekonyancer[blue]We're up first![/blue] We must play a valid *combination* of cards - 1 to 5 cards of the *same rank.* Let's start things simply with a single 3. *Select the 3 of Diamonds. Then click on "Play selected" at the top!*4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment010myhand_item_39 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* We established this pile as a *singles* pile. Only single cards can be played! The next player, [green]*nekonekoneko5,*[/green] has two choices: [blue]• Play a single card of equal or higher rank. • Pass.[/blue]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c203b5990700
NekonyancerThey played a higher card - the 6 of Diamonds. [blue]*Nekonyancer*[/blue] will go next. They have the same two options: play a card or equal or higher rank, or pass.1card_45654c20460139400
NekonyancerThey played another 6! Since they played a card of the *same rank* as the previous card, they *skipped* the next player's turn! [blue]Since neko3 was skipped, it's our turn again.[/blue]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c20531d87300
NekonyancerLet's play another *6!* This will skip [green]*neko5's*[/green] turn. *Play it!*2myhand_item_51654c20531d87310myhand_item_51 16
NekonyancerWow, Nekonyancer went right to the top by playing an [red]*Ace.*[/red] I wonder how *neko3* will react?1card_6654c20e35a60a00card_6 1
Nekonyancer*Neko3 passed!* They'll still get a chance to play when their turn comes back around. Now it's our turn. *Play the 2 of Hearts.*1myhand_item_4654c20f38c67810myhand_item_4 16
NekonyancerOkay, [green]*neko5*[/green] passed...1playertable_92147957654c20ffc74a300
Nekonyancer...so did [blue]*Nekonyancer*[/blue]...1playertablecard_11941354654c21038e8c100
Nekonyancer...and so did *neko3!* Since all our opponents passed, we won the pile and get to start the next one. Last time, we started it with a single card. Let's try a *triple* this time! *Select the three 5s! Play them!*1myhand_item_24654c2107b11ad10myhand_item_13 16 myhand_item_18 16 myhand_item_24 16
Nekonyancer[green]*nekonekoneko5*[/green] must play another triple of equal or higher rank, or pass.1playertable_92147957654c21122f94d00
NekonyancerThey passed! [blue]*Nekonyancer*[/blue] is next!1playertable_92147957654c211aaf79b00
NekonyancerThey passed too! *neko3* is next!1playertable_11941354654c2121afe5200
Nekonyancer*Yikes!* They played two Queens and the [red]*Joker!*[/red] The [red]*Joker*[/red] is *wild.* In this case, it's being used as a third Queen. If played in a singles pile, the Joker is considered the strongest card in the game.1played_card654c21304cc8e00card_36 6
NekonyancerWe can't beat that combination, so we have to pass. *Click on [red]"Pass!"[/red]*2btnPassTurn654c21304cc8e10btnPassTurn 1
Nekonyancer[green]*neko5*[/green] and [blue]*Nekonyancer*[/blue] also passed, so *neko3* won the pile and can start the next one.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c21468f40500
NekonyancerAlright, I think you got the hang of it! [blue]I'll fast-forward a bit now.[/blue]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c21561629800
Nekonyancer[blue]We played our last card and "went out!"[/blue] The round will continue without us until all but one player have gone out.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c2258cde5b00
Nekonyancer[red]Okay, the round is over![/red] You should be able to see a *Round end summary* now. You may need to minimize this box or change your zoom settings to see all of it. 1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c22766439200
NekonyancerAccording to the summary, we went out first, followed by [green]*neko5,*[/green] *neko3,* and [blue]*Nekonyancer.*[/blue] Each player scored points equal to the number of players they beat. [green]Since there were three players slower than us, we scored three points![/green] *Close the summary. Then continue.*2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c22766439200
NekonyancerThe next part is what makes this game special: BGA assigned us titles based on when we went out! 1st: [red]*President.*[/red] 2nd: [blue]*Minister.*[/blue] 2nd last: [green]*Peasant.*[/green] Last: Beggar. (See arrow.) If there are more than four players in the game, players who do not end up as one of those four roles are ranked as ordinary *citizens.* If there are fewer than four, the President and Beggar roles are not used.3rankname_92146574654c22766439200rankname_92147957 2 rankname_11941354 12 rankname_92143487 3 rankname_92146574 1
NekonyancerBefore we start the next round, the Beggar and President must swap 2 cards with each other! As the President, we can choose any cards from our hand to swap, but the Beggar must select their highest two cards! *Select the indicated cards. Then click on "Give selected" at the top.*4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c22766439210myhand_item_25 16 myhand_item_49 16
Nekonyancer*Nice.* We got [green]*two aces*[/green] in exchange for a 6 and a 9. It's good to be the King. Er, President. You know what I mean.1myhand_item_10654c22b13e72500myhand_item_10 8 myhand_item_6 8
NekonyancerNext, the Minister and Peasant have to exchange 1 card. The Minister can choose any card, but the Peasant must give their highest card.2playertable_92147957654c22b13e72500
Nekonyancer*Now the round will start!* For the rest of the game, the *Beggar* (lowest player) will start each round.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c22be6c16100
NekonyancerThe game will continue as you've seen until one player reaches the [green]target score,[/green] winning the game! If multiple players reach the target at the same time, the player with the highest score wins. If tied, whoever had the higher rank in the last round wins.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c22c7a0cf500
NekonyancerBefore you go, I need to mention [red]*this box,*[/red] which lists all the active mechanics in this game. You already know Joker, Lowest player first, and Same rank skip. I'll explain the others now. *Revolution:* If someone plays a combination of 4 or more cards, the card rank hierarchy is flipped, making 2 the weakest and 3 the strongest. Another revolution can flip it back to normal.2variant_wrap654c22c7a0cf500variant_wrap 1
Nekonyancer*Downfall:* If someone goes out before the President, the President is immediately eliminated and ranked last. *Illegal Finish:* If a player goes out by playing any of the following cards, they are disqualified and ranked last for the round. • 2 when card ranks are normal. • 3 when card ranks are flipped. • Joker. • 8 when the Ender 8 option is active.3archiveCommentElementPointerTargetInner654c22c7a0cf500
NekonyancerThe aforementioned *"Ender 8"* is not active by default, but you can toggle it, along with several other options, in the game lobby. [green]They're all explained there, so I won't bother going through them here.[/green]4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c22c7a0cf500
Nekonyancer[blue]*Thank you for playing through this tutorial for President!*[/blue] If you have any questions or comments about the tutorial, feel free to send *Nekonyancer* a message! A big thank you goes out to *ufm* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment654c22c7a0cf500
