About War
What this is
This is a free game of War you can play right in your browser. There is no signup, no account, and nothing to download or install. It works on a phone, a tablet, or a computer, so a quick game is always one tap away.
Why we built it
War is often the very first card game people learn, so the online version has to be simple enough for a child and comfortable for everyone else. That is the whole design goal: big, readable cards, an obvious flip and compare, and no clutter. Easy to read, easy to play.
What else is here
Alongside the game we keep a small set of reference pages, maintained together with the game itself so the rules and the play always match:
Who makes this
This site is built and maintained by a small, independent team of people who actually play these games. It is one of a handful of classic card game sites we look after, and we keep the rules and strategy pages current alongside the game rather than letting them drift. If a rule looks wrong or something plays strangely, that is the kind of thing we want to fix.
