Addition War

This card game is a variation on classic War where players add the values of their top two cards instead of comparing them. The player with the highest sum takes all the cards played and adds them to their discard pile. If the sums are equal, more cards are played until one player has the highest total. The player with the most cards in their discard pile at the end wins. Variations include leaving face cards in and assigning them point values or having players add more than two cards at a time.

Addition War

Before beginning, you will want to pull all the jokers, jacks, queens, and kings from
the deck. Shuffle the cards and deal the entire deck to both players. Each player
should have an equal number of cards.

This game is like the classic card game War, but with a few twists. To start each
player will turn over the top two cards in their stack and lay them side by side. Then,
each player will add their two cards together.

The player with the largest sum gets all four cards. Put them in a discard pile. Each
player will have their own discard pile. Keep playing until the two piles of cards are
gone.
If the players’ cards are equal, leave them on the table and turn over the next two
cards in the stacks and lay them on top of the first pair of cards.
The player who has the highest sum of their top two cards will take all eight of the
cards. After all the cards have been played, each player will count the cards in their
discard pile. The player with the most cards wins.

Fun variations of Addition War


You can make the game a little harder by leaving the kings, queens, and jacks in the
deck. When adding your cards together, each jack would equal 11, queens are 12,
and kings are 13. If you’re working on adding more than 2 numbers together, each
player can turn over 3, 4, or even 5 cards at a time. You can also play this game
using multiplication.
