The POOF-Slinky 0X8-3204 Ideal War Card Game is a timeless game that’s great for young children and the object is to capture all (52) cards in the deck to win. The game starts by dealing (2) players (26) cards face down. Cards rank lowest (2) to highest (Ace). Both players turn up the top card on their pile and lay them in the play area. Whoever turned up the higher value card “captures” both cards and adds them face down to the bottom of their pile. Both players then turn up their next card as play continues. If the turned up cards are identical in value then both players lay down a card for each word as they say “I Declare A War!” The first (3) cards should be placed faced down behind the card that began the war, while the fourth card is played face up. The player whose (4th) card is highest in value captures all (10) cards. The game continues until one player has captured all (52) cards. These king-sized cards are perfect for small hands to hold with colorful numbers, letters and illustrations to make playing easier for younger children. Ideal"s War Card Game is designed for 2-players and includes (52) playing cards with instructions.
