Nilsum - Zero Sum Strategy Game for Adults, Teens, and Kids

Learn to play The Perfect Mix of Luck and Strategy in under 3 minutes with the instructional video. This game is fun for all ages and great for building addition and subtraction skills for kids, while being designed to be engaging and strategic for adults as well. The objective is to get the sum of your 5 cards as close to 0 as possible through flipping and trading cards over the course of several rounds.

To set up, each player is dealt 5 facedown cards, and they randomly flip over 1 card to start. The remaining cards are used to create draw and discard piles. On your turn, you may take a card from the discard pile or the draw pile and use it to replace any one of your cards, or choose to flip over one of your own cards. As soon as one player flips all their cards, the other players get one last turn, and any remaining facedown cards are then flipped over.

The player closest to 0 earns points equal to their highest positive card, the second-place player earns points equal to their second-highest card, and so on. This game requires strategic decision-making, as you must balance higher cards, which can earn you more points, with the need to keep your total sum close to 0.

This game is great for building kids' addition and subtraction skills, but it is also designed to be competitive and engaging for adults. It's an excellent choice for family game nights, with a flexible playtime of approximately 20 minutes for 5 rounds.

The game comes with 50 poker-sized 2.5x3.5 inch cards and instructional cards, packaged in a compact tuckbox for easy travel.
