UNCONDITIONAL WAR

FREE FOR ALL

Equipment:

  • Deck of cards

Rules:

  • Shuffle the deck of cards and deal out 13 cards to each player. 
  • Do not look at the cards.
  • Have everyone place the cards face down in front of them in a pile.
  • When everyone is ready, have everyone flip up the top card and place it down in the middle at the same time. 
  • The highest card wins the round! (Kings highest, Ace’s are lowest) 
  • If the two or three (or four) highest cards are the same in that round, those players are in a “battle”. Have those players flip over their next top card.
  • Keep going until only one player has a higher card! Each time they have the same card the points to win that round go up by 1. 
    • Example: If two players have the same card, they flip over another card (their second card for that round). Let’s say one of them has a higher second card. They get 2 points for winning that round instead of 1!
  • Keep playing until all the cards get used. If you end up being someone that has to play more cards due to being in “battles” you do not get to reshuffle your cards. 
  • If you run out of cards. You are done and have to wait until everyone else plays out their cards. The last couple rounds might only have one or two players playing. 
  • In the rare case the last cards being played are the same. Each player gets the point(s).
  • The player with the most points wins! If there is a tie, have those player reshuffle their decks and play a sudden death, highest card wins! 

 

Drinking Rules (optional): 

  • Every time you lose, you must drink. 
  • If you lose a battle, drink how many times the cards were the same!
