War (also known as Battle in the United Kingdom) is a simple card game, typically played by two players using a standard playing card deck — and often played by children. There are many variations, as well as related games such as the German 32-card Tod und Leben ("Life and Death"). Gameplay The objective of the game is to win all of the cards. The deck is divided evenly among the players, giving each a down stack. In unison, each player reveals the top card of their deck—this is a "battle"—and the player with the higher card takes both of the cards played and moves them to their stack. Aces are high, and suits are ignored. If the two cards played are of equal value, then there is a "war". Both players place the next three cards face down and then another card face-up. The owner of the higher face-up card wins the war and adds all the cards on the table to the bottom of their deck. If the face-up cards are again equal then the battle repeats with another set of face-down/up cards. This repeats until one player
Guerra (también conocido como Batalla en el Reino Unido) es un juego de cartas simple, normalmente jugado por dos jugadores usando un paquete de cartas de juego estándar - y a menudo jugado por niños. Hay muchas variaciones, así como juegos relacionados como el alemán de 32 cartas Tod und Leben ("Vida y muerte"). El juego tiene como objetivo ganar todas las cartas. El paquete se divide igualmente entre los jugadores, dando a cada uno una pila de cartas. En unanimidad, cada jugador revela la carta superior de su paquete - esto es una "batalla" - y el jugador con la carta más alta toma las dos cartas jugadas y las mueve a su pila. Los ases son altos, y las vestiduras son ignoradas. Si las dos cartas jugadas son de igual valor, entonces hay una "guerra".
