Absolute is a card game for 2-6 players where you play sets of 3 or more cards that add up to zero, and the largest absolute number card is the base points for that set. Your goal is to make the highest scoring sets each round. You gain additional points for extra cards, positive and negative runs, matching suits, and four of a kind. Each round players get a chance to build or improve their own sets for more points and mess with those of other players to reduce their points.
On your turn you draw a card from the deck or discard pile. You may swap up to 2 cards from your hand with up to 2 cards from any one played set from any player. Then you can play sets, add cards to existing sets, or play cards to regroup your sets into new sets (for more points). If you play any cards, then you have to discard a card.
Zero cards are wild with their own set of rules and limitations that make their use strategic rather than just replacing a card.
The player with the highest score after 3 rounds wins!
