Multiplication War

Multiplication War
The object of the game is to win the most cards by stating the product of the numbers before your partner does.
                                                           
Materials:
-       Two decks of playing cards
Directions:
1.    Give each partner a deck of cards and remove the jokers, jacks, queens, and kings from each deck.
2.    Shuffle the deck of cards.
3.    Each player will turn over one card at a time.
4.    The first person to correctly say the product of the two cards wins the cards and will add them to his/her pile. You must state the number sentence (ex. 9x2=18).
5.    If there is a tie while saying the product, “war” begins. Each player will place two cards face down, then turn a third card face up on top of the pile. The player who correctly states the product of the two face-up cards wins both piles.
6.    The winner is the player with the most cards at the end of the game.
Note: Ace= 1

Challenge: Keep the Jokers,Jacks, Queens, and Kings in the deck and use the following  values: Joker= 0, Jack= 11, Queen= 12, and King= 13
