New York Street Games - The Movie

I Declare War on . . .

The problem is I don't recall how the game was played. I need help with the details. These games usually had simpleton rules so maybe that's why I don't remember them. If anybody can recall how we played the WAR game, please contact me at urbisoler@aol.com
Ciao!

Then I bounce the ball as high as I can and everybody including me, runs down the street, except Urbisoler. Urb has to stay and catch the ball. When he catches it, he yells SPUD and everyone has to stop running and stand still. Then Urb throws the ball at somebody. If that kid gets hit, he gets an "S". If Urb misses, Urb gets the "s" or "P" or "u". Whoever collects all 4 letters to spell SPUD is out until next game. There's only 1 winner.

You split a deck of cards between 2 or more players. Keep the cards facing down, so no one sees the cards, then you flip one card at a time. The high card wins the hand. Sometimes you and your opponent would turn over the same card. That's when you start a "WAR", to see who wins that hand. In a separate pile, you flip over 4 cards each, and repeat " I De Clare War " as you're flipping cards, the 4th card decides who won the "WAR", and that person picks up all the cards from that hand. Sometimes, you might even get another "WAR" within the "WAR", if you keep flipping the same card as your opponent. The person with all the cards wins.
