This is team version of DEAD PRESIDENTS and follows its rules with these added features:
-
Each team has two players who sit across from each other who are cooperating to capture the most cash cards.
-
To start play every player chooses one card from their hand, pushes it to the center, and flips it up simultaneously. Whoever wins the trick becomes the first trick leader. Only the first trick is played with all cards face down.
-
After the first trick is played, whoever wins the trick leads the next one.
-
The trick leader places one card face-up, and then play continues clockwise. All cards are placed face-up on a players turn.

Whoever wins a trick puts the cash in their team vault (team members add up their cash together).
