There's an interesting game called "Raj" that is based on this idea. In the game, there is a set of prizes valued at -5 to 10, and each player starts with a set of integer cards valued 1-15. All players select and play a card simultaneously. High card wins positive prizes, low card wins negative prizes and duplicate cards cancel one another, leaving the competition to the non-duplicate players. There are a LOT of potential strategies, which theoretically could take into account the cards each player has remaining, but it's not humanly possible to keep track of 5x15 cards in a fast paced game. http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/175/raj
