What is "War"?

War is a simple card game that has been enjoyed for centuries, especially among children. It is typically played by two players using a standard deck of cards, with the deck split evenly between the players. The goal is to win all the cards. Players take turns flipping over the top card of their stack, and the player with the higher card wins both cards and places them at the bottom of their pile. If the cards are of equal rank, a "war" is declared, and each player places three more cards face down before flipping a fourth card to determine the winner. The game continues until one player has all the cards or the players decide to end the game. War is a game of chance, with no skill involved.
