## **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.

## **Why War online is fun**

### **2 to 4 players**

Play a duel or go four-way. War works with any group.

### **Against bots**

Nobody around? The bots are always up for a game.

### **Flip automatically**

Lean back. Your card can flip itself if you want.
