Overview of War Card Game

War is a classic card game played by two or more players. The objective of the game is to win all the cards in a deck. In this game, the deck is evenly divided among the players. Each player then takes turns to flip a card from their deck. The player with the highest card wins the round and collects all the cards played in that round. The game continues until one player has collected all the cards.

Rules of War Card Game

To play War, you will need a standard deck of 52 cards. The cards are ranked in the order from lowest to highest: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, and King. At the start of the game, the deck is divided evenly among the players. Each player then flips the top card of their deck simultaneously. The player with the highest card wins the round and collects all the cards played in that round. The game continues until one player has collected all the cards.

What Happens in the Event of a Tie?

If there is a tie during a round of War, then a “War” must be declared. In this case, each player places three cards face down and then flips a fourth card face up. The player with the highest fourth card wins all the cards that have been placed in the “pot.” If there is another tie, then another “War” can be declared and the process repeats until one player wins.

Winning the Game

The objective of War is to collect all the cards in the deck. The game continues until one player has collected all the cards. If a player runs out of cards during the game, then they are out of the game. The last player standing with all the cards in the deck is the winner of the game.
