Fraction War

Fraction Wars is played like the traditional card game War using a custom faction card deck. Download printable cards here. Each deck is 2 pages. I print 5 decks on 5 different colors of cardstock. This makes starting a new game quick and easy. Just deal out the corresponding color decks. To play each player flips a card over. The highest card takes the trick. Students can use the Fraction Bars webapp to help determine the highest card.

In Discrete Math Pre-Collegiate Games, Kris Siy describes the rules as follows:
Race to 1000: Two players play a game on a blackboard. The first player begins by writing
the number 2. Then, on each player’s turn, they first select a whole number smaller than the
number written on the blackboard. Then, they replace the number on the board with the sum
of the previous number and their selected number. The player who writes the number 1000
wins.
