Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed. Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games. War is a fully accessible classic card War game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Each player starts with a deck of 26 cards. The game takes place through a series of battles in which each player reveals one card. The player with the highest card wins both cards. If both players reveal a card of the same rank, a war ensues, giving each player a chance to win many of their opponent's cards. The cards are not visible; instead, you play by listening. Tap the screen to play your next card, and the computer plays its next card too. War tells the cards you and the computer played, and the number of total cards in your hand. You can customize the game to your liking: how much extra information is spoken and how quickly it is spoken. There is a STARTER PACK in-app upgrade that unlocks all settings features to give you more variants of War, and lets you play more than one game per day. We'll be adding more War-like games as in-app upgrades.
