Card game question
a while back I had created a card game which I could easily pick up a deck of cards and play with friends and family. it used a smaller deck, similar to euchre, being 10, J, Q, K, A, and 2 of each suit. meant to be a two player game
each player is dealt a 4 card hand, they then put each card face down in a row in front of them.
once each player does this, they flip each card over, normal war rules other than 2's beat aces, in cases of a tie, check for any 2's beating an ace, if none, take the values of the cards and put them together, the person with the most points in value, wins the hand. if any 's beat an ace, in the event of a tie, the player that played the two wins the hand.
the cards for this hand are then discarded and each player repeats until all the cards in the deck are discarded, or in other words, they get three hands.
some questions I've got for the improvement of this game:
it hasn't happened yet but it's possible that it could happen, in the event of a true tie, what should the tie breaker be? how should I resolve this situation?
some of the people that I have play tested the game with cite a lack of strategic depth, do you all think this is a problem or is the current strategy good enough.
I apologize for the minor word vomit, a friend suggested I ask a subreddit for their opinions and its difficult to get the game rules out in words without an example, which I guess could be another issue.
