War Rules

War is a card game where players compare cards and the player having the higher numbered card wins and collects both cards. If there's a tie, a "war" is declared

Objective: The goal of the card game War is to win all the cards in the deck by having the highest-ranked cards during battles.

Setup:

Typically played between 2-4 players
War is typically played with a standard 52-card deck
Dealer rotates each round in clockwise

Instructions

Step 1

Dealer shuffles and deals out cards evenly to each player. Each player places their stack of cards face-down in front of them without looking at the cards.

Step 2

Simultaneously, all players reveal the top card of their stack in a central pile. The player with the highest-ranked card wins the round and takes all the cards from the central pile, placing them at the bottom of their stack.

Step 3

If there's a tie for the highest-ranked card (two or more players reveal cards of the same rank), a "war" is declared.

In a war, players place three cards face-down and then reveal a fourth card. The player with the highest-ranked fourth card wins all the cards in the war
If there's another tie, players filp over their 3rd card to determine the winner
The 2nd card is flipped if there's another tie, and then 1st face down card if there's another tie
The process repeats itself if ties continue.

Step 4

The game continues until one player has all the cards or until a predetermined time or number of rounds.

Step 5

The player who collects all the cards or wins the most round is the winner
