scoring golf card game

Players aim for the lowest total score. Each round you sum the values of the cards in your layout; after the agreed number of rounds (holes), the player with the lowest overall total wins.

Grid sizes vary by version. Common layouts include a 2×3 grid (two columns by three rows) of face-down cards and larger layouts such as a 4×3 grid (four columns by three rows). Different editions may use other sizes.

At the end of a round, players sum the values of the cards in their layout (and any neighbor column if that rule applies). Some versions include special scoring rules or penalties—for example, specified conditions that alter or double a player’s score—but the exact special rules depend on the edition.

Most editions include the card deck and printed rules; many also provide scorecards or a scoring pad. Some product listings specify a total card count (for example, 108 cards), but included components vary between releases—check the package contents for a specific edition.

Interaction rules vary by version. Some treat a neighbor’s rightmost column as part of your area, affecting scoring or play; others allow actions that let a player play into or swap a neighbor’s column, or use matched rows that include neighbor columns for discards. Specific interaction mechanics depend on the edition.
