  • What is this game called? Or is it probably a family game?


    I need help identifying a card game I was taught by someone. I remember most of the rules except the "war" part. We played with two people and I can’t remember if it’s only a two player game or not.

    Dealing
    Deal out the entire deck of cards face down. Each player will have half the deck. Players aren’t allowed to look at their hand throughout the game and they aren’t allowed to shuffle their hand. With this method you can start to memorize them over time.

    War
    The part I remember here is players flip their top card. The high card will win out and stay the main player until the other player can beat it out.

    This is why I need help identifying the game because I don’t remember if there was a "catch" to winning the war other than having a high card. I also remember the losing player is accumulating cards somehow since you win by emptying your hand.

    Discarding
    You can only discard by arranging the cards by suite. I can’t remember if it goes king -> ace or ace -> king. All I remember is each suit is organized in order to discard.

    You can put down as many as you can while doing your "random draw" since you aren’t allowed to see the cards you have the entire game.

    I don’t remember if only the main player can discard or if anyone can as the cards pop up. There was a specific rule for this as well.

    Winning the game
    Discard your whole hand first.

    The person knew the rules very well and it was definitely a game they had played many times before based on how they played. The only thing I remember about the game was it had an "and" in it like "king and robber" or something like that.

    I know there is a chance this is just a family game as well. Thank you for your help!

  • Fortnite developer Epic accuses Apple of glockblocking its attempts to shoot the game back onto US iOS, then probably hit the griddy

    Fortnite developer Epic accuses Apple of glockblocking its attempts to shoot the game back onto US iOS, then probably hit the griddy


    Fortnite developer Epic recently suggested the game might become available on iOS in the US for the first time since 2020 soon, but it’s now looking like that won’t be happening. Why? Well, Epic’s accusing Apple, its long-time sparring partner in an ongoing legal battle, of storeblocking.

    As we reported last week, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney had launched a fresh effort to get Apple to agree to re-admit the game to its App Store following a judge issuing a pretty damning verdict against the fruit company in the latest legal skirmish between the two. This is all about payment options and the cut Apple takes of them via its store, with Epic having decided five years ago that this was something it wouldn’t stand for.

    Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has claimed it originally submitted Fortnite for Apple to review on May 9 and then resubmitted a new version on May 14 in order to include a fresh update to the game. Now, the publisher’s put out the following statement via the official Fortnite Twitter account:

    “Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it.”

    Sweeney himself has also been tweeting, declaring in one post: “Apple’s App Review team should be free to review all submitted apps promptly and accept or reject according to the plain language of their guidelines. App Review shouldn’t be weaponized by senior management as a tool to delay or obstruct competition, due process, or free speech.”

    This all comes after that aforementioned court verdict, which saw Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rule that Apple was “in wilful violation” of previous court injunction that it had to allow purchases made for iOS games and apps through outside web links. It did, but then instituted a 27% commission on such purchases.

    “Apple’s response to the Injunction strains credulity,” the court’s verdict read, “After two sets of evidentiary hearings, the truth emerged Apple, despite knowing its obligations thereunder, thwarted the injunction’s goals, and continued its anticompetitive conduct solely to maintain its revenue stream.”

    We’ll just have to see how things go from here, as it looks like this fight is nowhere near a resolution that would see one victor left default dancing, or more realistically a bunch of suits going back to whatever else it is they do with their time.
