One of the ways players can score below 0 in brutal mode is when they are given a negative modifier card after going bust.
In my last game, a player did not go below 0 when bust when they were given the -10 because they had had the Zero when they were active.
The Zero clearly says "score 0 unless you flip 7", so you could argue you will always score 0 unless you flip 7. However, the rules also say if you go bust you score nothing, and brutal mode overrides that, so why not the Zero rule?
I'm interested in how others interpret this, or if I've missed something that clarifies this. Thanks in advance.
