Absolutely!

Copy onto cards the integers shown below, one integer per card. Shuffle the cards and divide them equally. Each partner writes " absolute value" on two other cards and puts these cards aside.

Each partner places the top card from his or her pile face up. The partner with the greater card takes both cards and puts them face down in a separate pile. When there are no cards left in your original pile, shuffle the cards in the second pile and use them.

Twice during the game you can use an "absolute value" card after the other two cards have been played. When this card is played, partners compare the absolute value of the integers on the cards. When there is a tie, continue play; the first partner with a greater integer takes all the unclaimed cards. The winner is the partner who takes all the cards.
