In the early 1990s, the casino industry was experiencing a bit of a table game boom. A slightly beefed-up version of this simple game was introduced to casinos more than 25 years ago, named appropriately “Casino War.” History There’s no thinking, no strategy, and you can play the entire game in under a minute. It’s just about the easiest card game you can play.

When all the cards have been played, the player with the most cards wins. The two players simultaneously draw the top card from their piles and lay them down, face up. A standard 52-card deck is divided into two piles of 26 cards each.

“War” is the first card game many children learn to play around the kitchen table.
