Repos Production has released a new dice-based game, the nominees for this year's Spiel des Jahres have been announced, and Space Cowboys has released First Giants.
Get in, get treasure, and get out. How many thieves will you bring on your crew? Choose wisely, because the larger the group, the more treasure you can nab, but the slower you go. Go too slow, and all the treasure might be gone before you even get there.
How quickly can you solve each puzzle? Race to answer the questions before your opponents, but be careful — three wrong answers and you’re out of the game.
Create sets, rearrange sets, and swap out cards, all in a quest to reach zero.
Published by Nonymous Games, Absolute is a mathy set collection card game for 2-6 players with a 30-60 minute playtime.
Gameplay
Five cards are dealt to each player, and the deck is placed in the center of the table. Cards have numbers that are either positive or negative. On a player’s turn, he draws the top card from the deck or the discard pile and adds it to his hand.
