War (cards)
War (cards) inside the room: each player gets half the deck, and in each battle the higher card takes both cards. Whoever is left with no cards loses.
How to start
- In a game room: tap "New table", choose War (cards) and invite a player from the room. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
- The invited player taps "I'll play" — they have 60 seconds. The server draws who starts.
- The deck, 52 cards, is split evenly: 26 face-down cards for each player.
How to play
- On your turn, tap "Flip": the top two cards are revealed, and the higher one takes both. The ace is the highest card.
- The turn passes to the opponent after each battle.
- A tie means war: each player places 3 face-down cards and one face-up card, and the higher face-up card takes everything.
- Each turn has 30 seconds.
How the game ends
| A player is left with no cards | That player loses |
|---|---|
| After 200 battles | Whoever has more cards wins; a tie is a draw |
| Time runs out on the turn (30 seconds) | Whoever did not play loses, and the opponent wins |
| "Leave the game" in the middle | Forfeit — the opponent wins |
