You and your opponent each command a tiny army of five soldiers. Each round, you and your opponent simultaneously choose one of your soldiers to fight. However, not every soldier is created equal—some are stronger than others, and some have special abilities. Can you anticipate your opponent’s move and choose a soldier that will beat his? Will he make the “obvious” choice, or will he pull a bluff…or a double-bluff? Win the war by defeating all of your opponent’s soldiers, or having more remaining soldiers when the war is over.
