⚠️ Special Cards Explained

 

Golf Cards (The Best!)

  • Value: 0 points
  • What they do: Give you the lowest possible score
  • Strategy: Always keep these!

Wild Cards (Super Flexible!)

  • Value: Any number you choose (1-16)
  • What they do: Can be any number to help make pairs or low scores
  • Strategy: Great for making matching sets!

FORE! Cards (The Game Changer!)

  • Value: 10 points (high - not great for your score)
  • Special Power: When you place one face up, yell "FORE!" and swap it with ANY face-up card from ANY other player
  • Important: You MUST use this power on or before your last turn of the hole
  • Strategy: Steal low-value cards from other players!

Mulligan Cards (Second Chances!)

  • When you get them: Only on holes 1 and 10
  • How to use: After everyone's normal turns are done AND all your cards are face up, you can replace any of your cards with your Mulligan
  • Important: You don't know what the Mulligan card is until you use it - it's a gamble!

📦 What's In The Box? 

 

72 Cards Total:

  • 4 Golf Cards (worth 0 points - these are great!)
  • 4 Wild Cards (can be any number you want)
  • 64 Number Cards (1-16 in four colors: Green, Red, Yellow, Blue)
  • Fore! Cards (13-Green, 14-Red, 15-Yellow, 16-Blue)

🎯 What's The Goal?

 

Simple: Get the lowest score possible over 9 or 18 "holes" (rounds).

  • Just like golf - lower scores are better!
  • You don't need to know anything about real golf to play

⏱ Quick Start Setup

 

For Each Hole:

  1. Deal 4 cards to each player face down in a 2x2 grid
  2. Special holes 1 & 10: Deal a 5th card (called a "Mulligan") - set it aside face down
  3. Place remaining deck in the center
  4. Flip one card from the deck to start the discard pile

Before Playing:

  • Look at 2 of your 4 cards (just once!)
  • Remember what they are, then put them back face down
  • Never look at your Mulligan card (if you have one)

🔄 Your First Turn - Step by Step

 

Turn Overview:

Each turn has 3 simple steps: Draw - Decide - Discard

 

Step 1: Draw a Card 📥

 

Pick one:

  • Take the top card from the deck (you don't know what it is)
  • Take the top card from the discard pile (you can see what it is)

Step 2: Decide What to Do 🤔

 

Choose one:

  • Keep the card you drew and replace one of your face-down cards with it (place it face up)
  • Don't keep it and put the card you drew on the discard pile

Step 3: Check for Special Cards & Discard 📤

  • If you just placed a FORE! card face up, you can use its special power (see Special Cards section)

Important Rules:

  • Face-up cards stay face up (you can't flip them back over)
  • Face-down cards stay mysterious until you replace them
  • The goal is to replace your highest cards with lower ones
