Play Compare with 2 players.
- Split the deck between the players.
- Each player turns over 1 card.
- Compare the values. The player with the greater value keeps both cards.
- If the values are the same, each player turns over 1 more card. The player with the greater value keeps all 4 cards.
- Play until you run out of cards. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
