“I love this game! As a middle school math teacher, I use it regularly and it’s also great fun with the family.”
— Chuck Rash
Absolute Zero was designed for middle schoolers - but kids as young as 2nd grade up through adults enjoy playing!
The objective of Absolute Zero is to have the sum of all the cards in your hand equal zero.
Players draw and discard until this is accomplished. The first one with nothing wins the round!
A round can consist of a hand of 3, 4, or 5 cards. The number of cards in your hand really changes the strategy needed and the amount of mental math required!
We like to play dealers’ choice and allow the dealer to determine the number of cards in your hand for the current round.
One game of Absolute Zero typically consists of 5 rounds. Your score for each round is the Absolute Value of your hand. The player with the lowest score after 5 rounds wins the game
