War, the fast version with the real weapons: one hidden card, one flipped card, and if it's a tie, war again. The game where winning takes zero skill — just patience and a higher card than the person next to you.

How to play War
- Pick your mode: against the computer, two players on one device, or online with your group.
- Both players flip their top card at the same time; the higher one takes both cards.
- Tie: each player lays a hidden card then a flipped one — a war, with a higher stake than usual.
- If nobody has enough cards for the war, the round ends in a draw.
- The game ends when one player collects every card — or nobody has any left.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there any real strategy?
- No, War asks for zero decisions: it's pure flipped cards and patience. Perfect for keeping your hands busy without engaging the brain.
- What happens with repeated ties?
- Every tie triggers another war with a higher stake — cards keep piling up until one side wins the pile, or nobody has enough left to keep going.
- Can I play solo?
- Yes, against the computer, which flips its cards automatically — great for trying the game out, less great for your ego when it wins.
