This online version of the classic card game War was made by me. My name is Einar Egilsson and over there on the left is my current Facebook profile picture.

My son taught me this game a few years ago when we lived in Denmark. It's named 'Krig' over there, which is just the literal translation of War. A number of people have requested it over the years, so I decided to do it now. It's a very simple game, there's nothing but luck involved, no logic or anything. I do realize this, so you don't have to email me telling me about it :). Still, kids like it and it was simple to make since I didn't have to code any smarts into the opponent, so here it is! I've tried to add in a few effects and stuff to make it a little more interesting, but at its core it's just an extremely simple and repetitive game!

As always I use graphics that I found at OpenClipArt, a fantastic site with free graphics. The playing card images were made by Nicu Buculei.

Card

Suits are not compared in the game. Both players throw one card face-up to their respective waste piles at the same time. The player with the higher card rank wins both cards and adds to its pile after which the pile is shuffled once. If both players throw cards with same rank, war starts.
