The War Game

How To Play?
Number of players
Minimum players: 2
Maximum players: no matter how many, so that each player has a "decent" number of cards in his hand (not to have too few cards).

Books at War
The cards are dealt equally to each player. If they cannot be divided equally then they are taken out of the game starting with the smallest (2, 3 etc) as many cards as needed. The AS is the biggest book in the War, followed by K, D, J etc.

Who's winning?
The winner is the one who accumulates all the cards in the game (the others no longer have any cards in their hand).

The rules of the game in War
After the cards have been dealt evenly, a first player is chosen. The books are kept in the form of a pile, without their face being seen.

The first player places a card on the table face up. The other players, in order, will give a card from their own stack. The round is won by the one with the highest card. If two or more players have the same cards (for example 10 - 10, 4 - 4 - 4 etc), "war" is given, ie each player involved will put over the war card, in order from his own stack, as many cards as the war card indicates (for example, each one puts 10 cards, 4 cards, etc.). The one with the highest card wins and thus takes all the cards from the "war".

If books of the same kind are encountered again, the procedure is resumed. If there is an ace war, then each player will place 11 cards.

After finishing a round, the winner takes the cards from the table and places them at the end of his stack.

War tactics
Aces are very important because they are the biggest book. The lucky ones who receive more aces after the cards are dealt, are privileged, but through the "war" itself, after two or more players have given the same card, the aces can be transferred to another player and the chances go to him. However, war is not a strategy game, but simply luck
