To get the most points.

1. Player 1 uses the positive numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.  Player 2 uses the negative numbers -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6.
2. Player 1 begins the game.  Players take turns writing one of their numbers in a cell within the 4-by-3 rectangle outlined on the spreadsheet.  Once a player has written a number, that number cannot be used again.
3. After all 12 numbers have been used, fill in "Total" cells F2, F3, and F4 by adding the numbers in each row.  For example, F2 = B2 + C2 + D2 + E2.  Fill in "Total" cells B5, C5, D5, and E5 by adding the numbers in each column.  For example, C5 = C2 + C3 + C4.
4. Seven cells show row and column totals:  F2, F3, F4, B5, C5, D5, and E5.  Player 1 gets 1 point for each of these cells that contains a positive number.  Player 2 gets 1 point for each of these cells that contains a negative number.  Neither player gets a point for 0.  The player with the most points wins.
