War is a classic card game requiring minimal setup and simple rules, making it perfect for players of all ages. To play War, you need a standard 52-card deck.
Rules
- Deal the entire deck evenly between two players.
- Each player simultaneously flips over the top card of their stack.
- The player with the higher card takes both cards and adds them to the bottom of their deck.
- If the flipped cards are of equal value, ‘War’ is declared: each player places three cards face down and one card face up. The higher face-up card wins all the cards.
- Continue playing until one player wins all the cards or the other concedes.
Strategies
- Maintain focus: Pay attention to the flow of the game.
- Avoid distractions: Concentration can tilt the tide in your favor.
- Manage cards wisely: In wars, consider sacrificing lower-value cards strategically.
