War Card Game (endless cycle)

[SteveO]

I was playing a game of war with my grandson today. We were playing really fast but began to notice that the game was showing up in a similar pattern. This pattern continued through a number of cycles.

Obviously we could have changed this by rearranging the cards but it was a unique and interesting.

Anyone else ever had that happen?

I googled it and found that it was mathematically proven.

Omg yes and I HATE war now! My son loves it. We have been in cycles for quite awhile at times. Only actual wars or shuffling will shift the balance lol. That one game made me hate the entire game forever probably lmao.
