### 2/5 — War

*2026-04-19*

It would be nice to see improvements on this game like different deck designs .

### 5/5 — I love this game very much dead serious

*2026-03-08*

My best game ever

### 4/5 — Fun game with a few issues

*2025-01-29*

This is a fun game to play while your idle. There are some idiosyncrasies though. For some reason it randomly adds cards to the deck. If I’m playing with the proper 52 cards, leave the game, com back and pick up where I left off there’s now 72 cards or some random amount.

### 5/5 — One of the best Optime games yet!

*2024-07-25*

I love the simple, fun gameplay of war, now brought to your device! Just like all Optime games, I love to play this game on the road when I'm offline. The best part is that even when you exit the game, your progress saves, which is a game changer! Simply the best!

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2023-03-21*

There’s a glitch it adds cards during game but doesn’t know what causes it maybe the war does it. Because one of the games ended with 72 cards instead of 52 cards and had two ace of spades ♠️

### 5/5 — Great Game For Passing Time

*2023-01-03*

I like the four card draw for War, but when you or especially the opponent runs out of four cards to draw and draw one or two cards and wins the war,it seems unfair! Maybe it should go both ways, if either player has less than four cards to draw, then both draw the same amount of cards, from 1 to 4, or, the opponent with less then four lose by forfeit.

### 5/5 — Memories

*2020-10-23*

The game is just like the children’s game.  It’s good, suspenseful, fun to play.

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2019-12-15*

I am giving this a rating of 2 because I have played 1 game and lost nearly all of the wars. This infuriated me because I love war but not at the price that I lose every time!

### 1/5 — Take a pass

*2019-11-30*

I played ten games and lost 9 out of the 10. I don’t expect to win every game but the law of averages suggests I should win more than 1 out of 10. 3 of the games the opponent had all 4 aces and 9 of the 12 face cards. All 3 of those games were over in under 2 minutes. I get that the “War”card game, in general, is a total time killer and takes no strategy. That being said, take a pass on this app and try a different one. The one star is because the game looks good.

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2019-11-12*

This game is rigged for u to lose
