The goal is to be the first player to win all 52 cards
THE DEAL
The deck is divided evenly, with each player receiving 26
cards, dealt one at a time, face down. Anyone may deal first.
Each player places their stack of cards face down, in front of
them.
THE PLAY
Each player turns up a card at the same time and the player
with the higher card takes both cards and puts them, face
down, on the bottom of his stack. If the cards are the same
rank, it is War. Each player turns up one card face down and
one card face up. The player with the higher cards takes both
piles (six cards). If the turned-up cards are again the same
rank, each player places another card face down and turns
another card face up. The player with the higher card takes
all 10 cards, and so on.
HOW TO KEEP SCORE
The game ends when one player has won all the cards.
