Card game scum rules

The first player starts the game by playing a single card or a set of cards of equal value two aces, for example. Other players may pass or play by beating the previous hand before them.

You can beat a single card with another single card of higher rank. Sets of cards can only be beaten by equal number sets of higher rank. You may pass at any time, and you do not have to beat a hand just because you can. Passing does not inhibit you from playing on your next turn. The game continues until a play has been made where everyone subsequently passes. All the cards that have been played are pushed aside and the player who played last starts the next round.

Player C would start the next round. If for example, Player C had no more cards, the next player in the rotation would begin Player D. Need a visual aid? Jack Foolery see One-Eyed Jack.
