How to play

  1. The deck is split in half, 26 cards each.
  2. Press Flip. Both of you turn over the top card and the higher card (ace high) takes both.
  3. A tie is a war: each of you puts three cards face down and flips one more, and the winner takes everything.
  4. Win every card to win, or have the bigger pile after 400 rounds. Auto-play turns the cards for you.

Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
