Battle cards is one of my favorite games, and it’s really easy to play. First, two players divided entire deck of cards so that each has 26 cards. Next, both players pull three cards off the tops of their decks, revealing the third card. The winner of the round is the player with the higher card. (Aces are high.) players continue counting three cards and then revealing the last card in to one player has all the cards in his or her deck and is declared the winner. It’s it’s that simple. Now, who wants to play?
