Play the Paper Game War
The popular paper game known as War where all you need is paper, a pen, and a friend (or enemy)!
Steps
- Take a piece of regular notebook paper and fold it in half hamburger style.
- Unfold it and draw a line over the crease.
- Each player draw a fort on their side of the paper (a half box on the edge of the paper with a flag).
- Each player draw five soldiers on their side (stick figures are only allowed if both players use them).
- The object of the game is to take out the opponent by "shooting" his players and fort.
- During your turn, draw a straight line no longer then {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} on your side of the field that you think will touch your opponent's soldiers or fort when the paper is folded over.
- Once you have your bullet drawn, fold the paper over.
- If it touches an opponent's soldier (head or body; NOT legs or arms), that soldier is destroyed.
- If it hits the opponent's fort draw an X or a dot to show that you hit it. After 5 hits the fort is destroyed.
- The opponent then takes his turn.
- A person wins when all of the other player's soldiers and fort is destroyed.
- Learn the rules:
- You must make your fort on the EDGE of your side of the paper.
- You cannot fold the paper over before you shoot to check your shot.
- Hits in the limbs don't count.
- Hits on the flag or flagpole count.
