Criss Cross War is Born!

  Hi there! I know I haven't posted in a while, but I have trouble finding things to write about. Anyway, a few days ago, my sister decided she wanted to make up rules for a card game, so she made up the rules for a variation of the game of war, with very little help from my mom. Then my mom thought that it should be called "Criss Cross War". So, how about I tell you the rules!
   Setup: give each player an equal amount of a deck of cards.
1~In the middle of the table, each person puts 2 cards side by side the long way. Then they take two cards and deal them face up. (Make sure that you deal them in the same direction as the face down cards. (The other person's cards should be the exact same).
2~Then, to determine who wins the cards, you look cross ways so that you're looking at one card from each person. The card that is higher wins. (Ace is the highest). Repeat that on the other side.
3~ If there is a tie, do step 2 on the other side, then take the cards underneath out from under to determine the winner. It is winner-takes-all. If there is another tie, than you take out the other underneath cards to determine the winner. Again, for those it is winner-takes-all. If there is another tie, decide what to do yourself, because there is no rule.
4~ If you do step 2 and each person wins one pair of cards, and the other person wins the other, than it is called a "Criss Cross". That is when you flip over all of the underneath cards and do step 2 with the underneath cards. The only difference is that the highest card takes everything. If there is a tie between highest cards, the you determine the winner with the other two cards. There is no rule for if ther is another tie, so you can make up your own rule.
5~If you are out of cards, you suffle your win pile and flip it over to be your stock pile. If the other person has the whole deck of cards, than they win.
