Use these cards to play Scientific Notation "War" - played just like the card game War. To play War, shuffle the deck of cards, deal them evenly face down, and simultaneously flip the top card of each player's deck. The player with the higher card wins both cards, placing them face down on their stack. If cards are tied, a "war" occurs, requiring players to play three cards face down and one face up, with the highest face-up card winning all cards. Whoever ends up with all, or the most the cards
