Start the game
Shuffle the deck, deal four cards to each player, and place four cards face-up in the center. The remaining face-down cards form the pool.
play turns
Players take turns clockwise. On your turn, select one card from your hand to pick up one or more cards from the face-up center, forming an equation where the values are equal on both sides (e.g., use a +4 to pick up +5 and -1).
clearance
Collect the cards you picked up and place them face-down beside you. You can achieve 'clearance' by using one card to pick up all the face-up center cards (no matter how many). Place the top card of this collected set face up beside you.
unable to form sets
The next player may draw the new face-up card or a face-down card from the pool.
End of round
When all players have used their four cards, distribute four new cards from the pool to each player. The game ends when the pool is depleted and players have no cards left.
