Setup
Shuffle a standard 52-card deck and deal 26 cards face down to each player. Nobody looks at their cards.
War is the simplest two-player card game there is: the deck is split in half, both players flip their top card, and the higher card takes both. Capture all 52 cards to win.
Shuffle a standard 52-card deck and deal 26 cards face down to each player. Nobody looks at their cards.
Both players flip their top card at the same time. The higher rank wins both cards, which go to the bottom of the winner's pile. Aces are high; suits don't matter.
If the two cards tie, it's war: each player puts three cards face down and then flips a fourth. The higher fourth card wins the whole pile. Another tie means another war.
If you don't have enough cards for a war, you play your last card as the deciding one. A player who runs out of cards completely loses.
