Battle It Out: Positive and Negative Numbers Card Game

What You Do:

1. Shuffle the deck of cards. Divide the deck evenly among the players. Players should each keep their cards face down in a single stack.
2. For the purposes of this game, red cards will represent negative numbers and black cards will represent positive numbers. (aces = +/-1, jacks = +/-11, queens = +/-12, kings = +/-13)
3. Begin with players simultaneously turning over one card from the top of their packs. The winner of the round is determined by who turns over the card with the highest value. The winner gathers the cards from that round and places them at the bottom of their stack.
4. The winner of the game is the player who accumulates all of the cards, or has the most cards when time runs out.

Variations:

• Low cards win instead.
• For younger players, use only positive values for the cards.
