<Li> War IRL--This version of War has a poetic similarity to war in real life; no one wins in war . If both players play a card of the same value (ranging from low to high, 2 - Ace), both players remove that card from play . Coincidentally, this is also an easy version of the game for programmers to practice on since more than two cards will never be used at once . </Li> <Li> Instant War--Any card that loses a battle is dead, or eliminated from the game . The card that wins returns to the original owner . When cards tie, only one card is played by each player in the war . A draw is possible, and game play is much quicker . </Li> <Li> Five Straight Battles--If a player wins five straight battles, his opponent gives him his next faced down card . </Li> <Li> Simple Math (only optional when 3 players are playing)--If the card of the winner of the battle is greater than both losing cards together (i.e., the winner had a King, and the losers have a 5 and a 4), each loser hands the winner their next faced down card . </Li>
