See also the War Variations page, for other variations of War invented and submitted by readers. after this are summaries of some of the many variations, including a version in which captured cards can be stolen, a Russian version of it called Drunkard (P'yanitsa), a German version Tod und Leben., a version from Syria and a gambling version offered in some casinos. The standard two-player game is described first, then the game for three or four players. No strategy is involved - simply the ability to recognise which of two cards is higher in rank, and to follow the procedure of the game. This is a children's game played in many parts of the world.
