The player to the left of the dealer begins by placing a card faceup, always from the top of his/her deck, to start a central pile. Play then proceeds around the circle and each player takes turns laying down one card on the central pile at a time until a snap is made or a face card.

- If the cards have equal value, there is a war. Both players place 3 cards face down (occasionally, some people play with the modified rules of 1 or 2 face-down cards instead of the standard three) on the table and then place another face-up card on top of those. If the two are equal, they place more face-down cards and add another face-up card.
- The Play Each player turns up a card at the same time and the player with the higher card takes both cards and puts them, face down, on the bottom of his stack. If the cards are the same rank, it is War. Each player turns up one card face down and one card face up.

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[2] — and often played by children. There are many variations, including the German 32-card variant Tod und Leben ('Life and Death').
Gameplay[edit]
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.[2]
Mercy gears of war. Gears of War 3 begins in the summer, with the COG having disbanded after establishing camp on the island of Vectes. Delta Squad–which by now, consists of Marcus, Dom, Cole, Baird, Anya Stroud, Sam Byrne, Jace Stratton, and Clayton Carmine–has taken refuge at sea via the CNV Sovereign, which works as well as expected. Mercy is a multiplayer map in Gears of War 3, set in Maria Santiago 's hometown. It returns in the end stages of winter in Gears of War 4 as part of a free map DLC that Season Pass owners could play exclusively from September 5th, 2017. Mercy was an Imulsion township located on a cliff side overlooking the city of Char. The town mined, refined, and sold Imulsion throughout the Pendulum Wars, and was the site of. Gears of War: Mercy's End (2013) 7min Short, Action, Adventure A short film based off the popular video game series 'Gears of War.' The story follows a single soldier, Aestoni, as she has been separated from the rest of her platoon.
If the two cards played are of equal value, then there is a 'war'.[2] Both players place the next card of their pile face down (some variants have three face down cards) 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's face-up card is higher than their opponent's.[2]
Most descriptions of War are unclear about what happens if a player runs out of cards during a war.[2] In some variants, that player immediately loses. In others, the player may play the last card in their deck as their face-up card for the remainder of the war or replay the game from the beginning.[2]

Game designer Greg Costikyan has observed that since there are no choices in the game, and all outcomes are random, it cannot be considered a game by some definitions.[3] However, the rules often do not specify in which order the cards should be returned to the deck. If they are returned in a non-random order, the decision of putting one card before another after a win can change the overall outcome of the game.[4] The effects of such decisions are more visible with smaller size decks as it is easier for a player to card count, however the decisions can still affect gameplay if taken in standard decks.
Variations[edit]
Being a widely known game, War has many variations. Recorded variants include:
- Casino War
- A simple variation played for money in casinos.[5]
- Prisoners of War
- Usually played with more than 2 players. When a player wins a battle, they can choose to take one of the cards as 'prisoner'; this must not be one of their own cards. If they do, they put the card face up in front of them, away from the discard pile and the deck. When another battle is started, you may choose to not play a card from your deck, and instead of the 'prisoner' card. (You cannot look at the card you would have drawn and then choose to play the prisoner.) If you win the battle, it works like a regular one. If you lose, however, you give the winner the card you played as well as the card you would have drawn if you chose not to play the 'prisoner' card. If a war is initiated, it works the same way. If you win a war, you can also choose to 'capture' one of the face-down cards.[6]
- Bettelmann ('Beggar Man') and Tod und Leben ('Life and Death')
- German variants mentioned as early as 1833.[7] Uses a 32-card Skat pack for 2 players with cards ranking in the natural order and suits being irrelevant, except that in Tod und Leben, one player plays with the red suits and the other with the black suits. Players get 16 cards each face down. They turn over their top cards at the same time and the higher card wins. If the cards are equal, players turn the next card and the winner takes all four cards. The player with the most cards at the end wins.[8]
