The term "Asshole" in the popular party card game usually refers to a player's role or rank rather than a specific physical card. In most rule sets, the Asshole is the player who finished last in the previous round and therefore faces penalties or disadvantages at the start of the next round.
Common consequences for the Asshole include having to give their best card(s) to higher-ranked players, follow rule restrictions when leading, or perform other house-rule penalties. The exact mechanics vary widely by group—there is no universally fixed "Asshole" card that always represents that role.
Some households adopt a fixed convention (for example, designating a low-rank card such as the 3 or 2 of clubs as symbolic), but these are house rules and not part of the standard concept. When playing with new people, clarify the group's variant before the first round.
In short: the Asshole is typically a position assigned to a player based on previous play, not a single immutable card — unless your group's house rules explicitly assign a particular card to symbolize that role.
