President is a simple but addictive 5 player card game you can play against the computer or over the internet. It has nice sounds and graphics. It prefers the 16 Bit Hi Color setting but will run just fine under 256 colors. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards first. A card, a pair or cards, three of a kind, or 4 of a kind is led the next person has to play the same number of cards of equal or greater value (be if somebody leads a single King the next player has to play a King or an Ace) if you can't play you have the option of playing a 2 which will give you the lead or of passing. The player who gets rid of their cards first becomes president, second becomes vice president, third becomes Neutral, fourth becomes Vice Loser and Fifth becomes Loser. In the next game the President gets the Losers best 2 cards and gives him his worse (computer decides) and the Vice President gets the Vice Losers best card and gives him his worse. The Neutral player neither gives or receives any cards from another player.

You can choose to be Bogie, Cat, Cpu, Einstein, Groucho, Henry8, Mae West, Monroe, WC Fields, or use your own picture. The computer will randomly choose 4 of the remaining characters. The computer players use artificial intelligence to make them unique and interesting. If you would rather play against real players you can play for free over the internet. You can host your own game using the program that comes with president of join an existing one. You can also host more than one game. While playing over the internet you can click on a person's picture to send them a message and click the envelope over the person's head to receive a message from that person.

The shareware version allows you play 150 games. You can register the program via the web, email, fax, or snail mail.
