I found your first puzzle easier to solve than your second puzzle, but I eventually was able to figure it out. I really like these puzzles a lot especially when only 8 or 9 equations are used. Can you solve mine? Digits -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are disguised.

I love this card game. Not only does it have Roman numerals, but negative scores are possible. This one is my best score ever. The sum of all the scores is always 400.
