I love Scrabble! awesome game. You should also try playing Presidents and Arseholes. lots of fun to play when you're drunk and trying to strategise.
Alt: Today I dissected Coenobita variabilis (australian hermit crabs!) and collected their intestinal tissues, gills, and muscles for testing for my research project over the summer. FUN TIMES!

Fry them up with chilli and garlic when you're done, nice with pasta.

Presidents and Arseholes, eh?
From the country that brought you "if you drink and drive, you're a bloody idiot". Is it the constant fear of death at the potential hands of all Australian wildlife that has eroded your manners to the exten that you can't name a simple boardgame without colourful language?

not a board game. it's a cards game.
Lots of fun to play.

Is that the one Americans call Asshole?
It's called Shithead over here.

I think it's a little different somehow, I'm not sure though.
2 is the highest card, and clears the table. 10's also clear the table. if a 7 is played, have to play a card of lower value before a higher value card can be played. person with the 3 of clubs starts first. Aim is to get rid of your cards as fast as possible. First person to get rid of all their cards is president, the last is the arsehole.

Yeah, that's Shithead.
We don't call anyone a President for winning, just a Shithead for losing. British mentality in a nutshell, right there.

That's not shithead
shithead is:

Each player has 3 cards face-down in front of them, 3 cards face up, and 3 in their hand. Take it in turn to play a card the same or higher than the current face-up card, and replace from the draw pile. Ace is high and 2s are wild - so can be played on anything and anything can be played on them.

More than one card of the same rank can be played at the same time, so you can play 2 5s on a 4 for example - then you'd pick up 2. If you can't go you have to pick up the discard pile (and then don't have to draw until you're down to 3).

All 4 of a value being played consecutively (e.g. someone plays a 5 and the next person plays three 5s) removes the current discard pile from play.

Once the draw pile runs out you try and empty your hand, then play the face-up cards, then play the face-down cards.

Whoever is the last to get rid of all their cards is the shithead and must fetch more beer/deal the next hand.
