Pencil Wars is made mostly by me. It was based on the obscure paper-and-pencil game Paper Battle. The original, in My opinion, got boring fast, so I added new rules. This one's not so great for car rides, as it requires being able to draw a straight line. But for classrooms and doctor's offices, it's one of my favorites.
The goal is to kill all of your opponents soldiers, while keeping yours.
To play you will need:
@ Writing utensil (preferrably a pencil due to it's erasability)
@ Paper
@ A ruler or tape measure
@ An opponent.
Also recommended are pennies, washers, or anything that will let you
draw a neat, even circle.
Included is a picture of a finished war with the optional Fort rule.

Fold your paper in half length-wise (hamburger way). Hold it in your hand so that it resembles a bird in your palm, and draw a line over the crease. The two halves are you and your opponents playing fields.
There are three types of soldiers, Knights, Ninjas, and Archers. Knights have higher stamina, Ninjas can move faster, and Archers, obviously, can shoot arrows. You begin the game with two knights, two Ninjas, and an Archer. Each player takes turns drawing their soldiers on their side of the field, covering up the other end so that they cannot see where the other player has placed their soldiers. Stick figures are recommended, just circles are great as long as you can diffentiate them. Where you place them is crucial.
It comes in handy to have a penny to trace their heads with, because it makes sure they are all the same size, ensuring fairness (this will be clear in a second). You may place your soldiers anywhere, as long as it does not touch your opponents playing field.
Soldiers have "Life Points" (LP). Knights have five, Ninjas and Archers have three. Write each soldiers life points somewhere next to him.
