📖 About This Game

From the Curious Games site: "Wilcox War is a variant of the classic game of War, adding strategy and bluffing, making a fun game for everyone in the family!" Players play with 3-card hands, with all cards being shown to each other at the start of the game. The draw pile is also face up so players can have a rough idea what their opponent's hand is - and then they have to guess "Will they bluff?". As in traditional War, the players reveal a card, with the larger card revealed capturing the smaller. The alterations in Wilcox War changes the game into a small bluffing/strategy game. Base rules are for playing with two decks once through, but includes rule adjustments for playing until one person has all cards, and for single-deck games.
