War (Card Game)

War is one of the simplest and most accessible card games ever created. Two players split a deck evenly and simultaneously flip their top cards. The higher card wins both cards. When both cards match, a 'war' is declared — each player places three cards face-down and one face-up, with the higher face-up card taking all the cards at stake. The game continues until one player holds the entire deck.

1. The 52-card deck is split evenly between you and the computer.
2. Click 'Flip' to reveal both players' top cards simultaneously.
3. The higher card wins both cards, which go to the winner's deck.
4. If cards are equal, a war begins — three bonus cards go face-down, then one more is flipped.
5. The higher card in the war takes all cards at stake.
6. Play continues until one player collects all 52 cards.
