0:19.7 | Math is Olivia's favorite school subject. She asks me to quiz her on math all the time. Well, we discovered absolute zero a few weeks ago, and we've played the game dozens of times since. It's so much fun. This is how it works. Every player gets delta hand at the beginning of the game. Each card has a value from negative 12 to positive 12. |
0:39.9 | One by one, each player gets to add and remove a card from their hands. |
0:44.6 | The winner is the first player that has a hand with numbers that add up to zero. |
0:49.3 | Isn't that awesome? In most games, you need to be the player with the most points to win. |
