Once a card is played you lose the opportunity to steal, however, you may choose to play and not steal. Place your card on top of the pile you wish to steal, steal it, and place the new deck on top of your face-up pile without changing the order of any of the cards. If the value of your card matches the top card of your opponent’s face-up pile, you have the opportunity to steal that pile. Cards that are newly won are placed on top, and the winner can decide which to place directly on top.Īs opposed to the traditional game, players look at their cards from the face-down pile before playing them. Another difference is that after a war has been one, instead of collecting cards and placing them at the bottom of one’s deck, they are placed in a separate pile face-up. It is based on normal War, where wars consist of three cards face-down and one face-up, however with the addition of the high-value Jokers to the deck. In Steal War, the game is somewhat of a hybrid between the original game and Stealing Bundles.

If you wish to play with 3 or 4 players, follow the same directions listed above. If a player does not have enough cards for the war they must place their last card face-up. If the fourth cards are also the same, repeat the previous instructions until there is a winner. Whoever’s card is the highest is the winner, they collect all 10 cards and the next round begins. After, flip over a fourth card so that it is face up. THE WARĭuring a war, each player places three more cards, face-down, on the game playing surface. If players flip the same card, the war begins. The player with the higher card wins and collects both cards, return cards to the bottom of their personal deck. Only flip the top card, no peaking! Other cards must remain secret. To play, count down from 3 and flip cards at the same time so that they are face up.
