How to play War

Objective

Win every card in the deck.

Setup

  • The deck is split evenly between the two players, face down.

Rules

  1. Both players flip their top card at the same time.
  2. The higher card takes both; Aces are high.
  3. On a tie, each player lays three cards face down and one face up — the higher face-up card takes all ten.
  4. Play continues until one player holds all 52 cards.

Strategy tips

  • There are no decisions — it's pure chance, which is part of the charm.
  • A single won war can swing the entire game.
