How to use

Use the deck to play President by dealing all cards evenly among players and following the chosen rule set for card ranks, passes and rounds. Before first use, fan through the deck and remove any packaging inserts. Shuffle thoroughly to randomize card order, then deal according to the variant you prefer. During play, keep used cards in a discard pile and collect them between rounds. Store the deck in its box or a protective sleeve to keep cards flat and prevent wear.

Usage recommendations

To prolong card life, avoid exposing cards to moisture and keep hands clean while playing. Rotate dealing and mix by both riffle and overhand shuffles to reduce edge wear. Store the deck in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
