A tie triggers the familiar War mechanic, giving students additional fact practice while keeping the game easy to learn.
Use it when you want a low-prep addition station built from ordinary cards and face-to-face play. Encourage students to say both sums before comparing them so fluency and mathematical language stay part of every turn.
