War - Card Game
This is a very simple card game that’s suitable for young kids to play and it’s good to get them to know the ranks of the cards, the point values, and helping with some basic numbers for the really young kids. All you need to know is the ranks of the cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and ten…the rest just follow the numbers on the cards
Number of players: Two
Cards and deal: A typical 52 card pack is suitable. The king ranks high. The ace ranks low. Just count out 26 cards for each player.
Object of the game. To win all the cards.
The Play: Each player has a stack of cards in front of him, face down. Each turns up a card. The highest one wins. The winner puts both cards face down on the bottom of his stack. If the cards show similar rank, the player then covers his card with one face-down card and then turns up another one. The higher card takes all six cards. If the turned cards are again the same, each will take another face-down card and another face-up card. The winner takes all ten cards.
