How to play

War might be the simplest card game there is. All 52 cards get dealt and the higher card wins. Collect every card and you win.

  1. 1

    Deal

    Shuffle all 52 cards and deal them one at a time. Everyone keeps their pile face down. No peeking.

  2. 2

    Flip

    Everyone turns over their top card at once. The highest card takes every card in the battle. Aces are high.

  3. 3

    War!

    If the top cards tie, it's war! Only the players with the tied cards keep fighting.

  4. 4

    Face down, then flip again

    Each player in the war puts cards face down, then flips a new one. The winner takes the whole pot.

  5. 5

    Out of cards

    Cards you win go under your pile. Run out of cards and you're out. Not enough left for a war? Flip your last one.

  6. 6

    Victory

    Win all the cards and you win the game. If the battle limit hits first, the most cards win.
