The object of the game:
Collect the most amount of cards.
Materials: Deck of cards
Ace worth 11, Jack worth 12, Queen worth 13, King worth 14
How to Play:
- Black cards are positive numbers; red cards are negative numbers.
- Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top four (or five) cards.
- Players/Teams may do whatever math manipulation they wish with the numbers to create the largest result.
- Players/Teams may move the cards and place in any position of the equation they wish.
- Whichever player or team has the highest answer collects all of the cards displayed for that round
- Continue to play until all cards have been used.
- Each player/team counts the number of cards they collected. The player/team with the highest number of cards wins the game.
Player One (left):
(14 + -11) x (-4 x -3) = 36
Player Two (right):
10 + 8 + -13 x 4 = 20
The greatest answer wins all 8 cards.
