The War card game is played with two players using a standard deck of 52 cards, aiming to win all the cards. Here's how to play:
- Shuffle the deck and deal half (26 cards) face down to each player.
- Simultaneously, both players flip their top card face up.
- The player with the higher card wins the battle, taking both cards and placing them at the bottom of their deck.
- If the cards are tied in value, a "war" begins: each player places one card face down and then one card face up.
- Compare the face-up cards; the player with the higher card wins all the cards on the table.
- If the face-up cards are tied again, repeat the war process until someone wins.
- Play continues until one player collects all the cards or a player runs out of cards during a war, losing the game.
Aces are high; suits are ignored. The game can also be played with three or four players with adjusted card distribution. The game is based mostly on luck, with no strategic choices impacting outcomes.
