Q&A for How to Play War (Card Game)

No, it only applies to the people who declare "war". The third player is unaffected and will have to wait until the war ends.

You're technically not supposed to, but you're welcome to come up with your own rules for your own game, as long as all players can agree on them.

Not in the traditional game, unless you want to change the rules. If you meant the jack card, then yes, an ace could beat a jack.

Yes, although it would be a bit lonely, and you would win/lose anyway. You might want to find someone else to play with!

Not that I know of, but if you want you could always make up your own!

You can take one card out and make sure your players have the same amount of cards.

The person that still has cards left will win the war.

It doesn't matter how many cards each person has -- you don't even need a full deck to play war. For a shorter game, use fewer cards (10-20), and for a longer game, use more.

This is a game based solely on chance. Don't flinch right before turning a card over, rig the game or peek at your cards.

It means you won that specific round, so you collect your card and the opponent's losing card.

If the players who would be affected in the war each play a joker then yes, you "Declare War."

The 2 other people would go to war and the third person would not be affected by the war cards they get.

It is not clear by most rules. The person may lose in a version, and the person may continue the war with his last card in another. I personally prefer the first version.

Yes, the high joker (full color) does beat the low joker (single color) in War.

Yes. Jokers have the same value. When two people have the same numerical value, they go to war.

Fan them out face down and count. As long as neither player sees your stack, there is no transgression.

No. The 10 would win since it has a higher value.

If there is a match between two players but another player has a higher card, then no war will happen and the player with the highest card wins.

The player with cards left wins the war, so you would not win that round. But you can make up your own rules as long as all the players agree on them.

Call a draw. Then, the players' hands are equal and should call a draw. Or, shuffle both decks and play the round again. The shuffles should be different.

The two that got in a war don’t matter; the person who got the highest card wins the round.

An ace is the highest card in the game. Therefore, the player with the ace will win and take the queens of the other players.

As long as a player can understand the rules age doesn’t matter. Even kids as young as four or five can play with a bit of help.

Yes! Double wars, and even sometimes triple wars, are always fun. Keep going until someone places down a card with a higher value. The winner takes all.

You certainly can. However, a game like this will take a very long time to play.
