Today I taught the boys a new card game. I called it Which Card Is Biggest?, but most people I know would think it was called War. I didn't want to have to explain the word "war", besides, now the title matches what we ask every time new cards are turned over.
It took a little practice for them to remember that A/ace was like a 1, and that J,Q,K were bigger than 10, in that order. We decided that Jokers were the biggest of all. DS1 added a rule that you had to tell a joke when the Joker card came up. I ran out of cards first and suggested that the boys keep playing. They wanted to stop, so we counted their cards to find the winner. It was a tie! Both boys had 27 cards and were very excited to both win.
