Game Play

Each player takes the top card of their hand and flips it face-up. The player with the highest value card, wins the hand. The card values are in numerical order from 2 to 14. Number cards reflect their values(2-10), Jacks are worth 11, Queens 12, Kings 13, and Aces high at 14. The winning player takes both cards and places them at the bottom of their player deck.

War

In the event both cards have equal value, you must go to WAR. In Quadruple War, each player stakes 4 cards face-down from their hand and turns the fifth card face-up. The highest value card is the winner of the WAR and places all the cards won at the bottom of their player deck.

If you can't go to WAR

If you have less than 5 cards in your player deck, you don't have enough cards to stake the WAR and turn over a card. I'm sorry my friend, your final battle has been fought. You lose!
