About War
War is the easiest card game in the world and one of the most exciting. The deck is split between the players, and everyone turns over their top card at the same time. The highest card wins the trick, and the ace is highest. When two cards are equal, it’s war: each player puts down three cards face down and one face up, and the highest takes the lot.
On GameBase, the iPad sits between you, and each player has their own pile facing them. You just tap your pile to turn a card, and the cards fly onto the table. Choose a speed to suit your mood, from calm to lightning fast, and set a limit on the number of tricks, so the game ends even when it’s close.
You can be two, three or four players. If you have a TV, the table can be shown on the big screen, while each phone becomes a big button that turns over your cards.
How to play
- Choose the number of players, the speed and whether the game should end after a set number of tricks.
- Everyone gets the same number of cards. Tap your pile to turn over the top card.
- The highest card wins all the cards in the trick. The ace is highest, and 2 is lowest.
- If the highest cards are equal, it’s war: tap again, and three cards go down face down and one face up.
- Whoever wins all the cards wins. With a limit, whoever has the most cards when the tricks are played wins.
