War
Flip, compare, and go to war on ties. 2 players.
Also known as Battle.
How to play War
- 1The deck is split evenly into two face-down piles, one for each player.
- 2Both players flip their top card at the same time. The higher card takes both, and they go to the bottom of the winner’s pile. Aces are high, twos are low; suits don’t matter.
- 3If the cards tie, it’s war: each player puts three cards face down and one face up. The higher face-up card takes all the cards in play. Tie again and the war goes on. Short of cards for a war? Your last card is your face-up card.
- 4Run out of cards and you lose.
- 5To keep games from running forever, the game stops after 150 battles and whoever holds more cards wins.
- 6Tap your pile when you’re ready. The cards turn over once both players have flipped.
