– A deck of cards

How to Play War:
1. Shuffle and deal all the cards equally to all players. Each player must hold his/her card stack facedown.

2. All players start by flipping over his/her top card. The card with the highest value wins the round. As a result, the player with the highest card collects the other players’ up-facing cards (Ace is the highest, 2 is the lowest). This continues on.

3. If there is a tie, then each of the players in the tie must set the top three cards from their pile face down in the middle, and flip their fourth card. The player whose fourth card has the highest value wins the round and thus, collects all of the cards from that round. The player who has all the cards in his/her hand wins the game.
