Maths Game – WAR

WAR

Players: 2–4
You need: A deck of cards

Aim: Win all of the cards by solving the mathematical challenge.

How to play

1. Shuffle the cards and deal them evenly between all players.

2. Players keep their cards face down in a pile. Don’t look at your cards.

3. Each player turns over their top card at the same time.

4. The player with the highest card wins all of the cards played in that round.

5. The winner then adds (or multiplies) the cards together and that is their score. 

6. Continue playing until all the cards have been revealed, keeping track of your score. Player with the highest score wins. 

If two or more players have the same highest value:

1. Those players place another card face down.

2. They then place another card face up.

3. The player with the highest value wins all the cards in the middle.

4. If there is another tie, repeat the process.
