At some point in your life, you have played the (card) game of War. This usually occurs when you're eitther (a) in a large group where nobody can agree to play a particular game or (b) hanging around with people who don't know sweet piss all about cards.

As a result, you play the most basic card game alive - War.

The objective of War is for a Player to have a higher card than the Dealer. War is dealt with 1 deck of cards and cards are re-shuffled after each hand. If the Player's card is higher, then the Player wins 1:1 the original wager. In the case where the value of the Player's card and the Dealer's card is the same, the Player can either fold or choose to "go to War" by raising the bet - the raise must be equal to the original wager. If the Player folds, the amount wagered is automatically lost.
