War is a classic card game with simple rules. WarPlus has the added benefit of multi-player functionality and a personal dashboard to store your games. This page will teach you more about how to play the game and how to access the features of our app. We hope you enjoy WarPlus!
Players shuffle and divide the deck of cards equal ways amongst all players. Each player draws a card from their pile to reveal their top card. The player with the highest value card drawn gets to keep all the cards that were just played.
If a player should draw a card with the same value as another player, they go to war to settle the dispute of who should get the cards. In WarPlus, it compares the very next card in each war participant's pile to determine the winner of all the cards in the pot. If a war situation happens again with the second draw, a third card is drawn and so on until a winner is declared.
This process is repeated until one player has all of the cards in their pile.
NOTE: Various versions of War have different rules, so keep in mind our version may be slightly different than others:
