Asshole is a moderately inebriating drinking game that requires a deck of cards. It is a moderately difficult game to play. Here's how to do it:
A dealer is selected. The player on his left begins by leading any card or a set of matching cards. The next player may play any card with the same or higher value or pass. If a card with the same value is played, the next player is skipped and must drink. 2s are high, followed by aces, kings, etc. When a 2 is played, the Asshole takes all of the cards played and the player that put down the 2 starts the pile again. A 4 card means all players must drink. This card can be played at any time. The next player must continue piling on whatever was played before the 4. The first player to get rid of all of their cards wins and the last player to hold cards is the Asshole.
