Cards Battle - The War Game 2.4

The card game known as "War" has a rich history, intriguing for both casual players and enthusiasts alike. This adaptation offers the ability to engage in gameplay against an AI opponent or a friend through the HotSeat mode. Comprehensive rules are available both within the game itself and online for further clarification.

Rules:

• Utilizing a standard deck of 52 cards, the game is designed for two players.
• Cards are ranked from high to low: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two. The suits have no bearing on the game's outcome.
• Each player is dealt 26 cards, which they must keep face down without peeking.
• The objective is to capture all the cards from your opponent.

During play, both participants reveal their top card simultaneously. The player with the higher card collects both cards and places them at the bottom of their stack face down. If the revealed cards are of equal value, a "war" ensues. In this scenario, the tied cards remain on the table while each player places three additional cards face down. The winner is determined by comparing the third card played. Should this new card also result in a tie, the 'war' process repeats until one player's card exceeds the other.

The game continues until one player successfully accumulates all 52 cards. It is worth noting that matches can extend over considerable time periods.

This iteration introduces two timed game modes, where players have three minutes to play. The victor is declared the player holding more cards once time expires.
