Card Golf

This card game simulates golf using a standard 52-card deck plus two Jokers. Each player receives six face-down cards, and the remaining cards form a draw pile, with the top card flipped to begin the discard pile.

The goal is to minimize your card values by exchanging high-value cards for lower ones or creating pairs of equal-rank cards. The lowest total score after nine rounds wins.

Players take turns drawing one card from either the draw or discard piles. The drawn card can replace one of their face-down cards (the replaced card is then flipped face-up), or it can be discarded, ending their turn. A round concludes when all a player's cards are face-up.

The game consists of nine rounds ("holes"). The player with the lowest cumulative score wins.

Card Values:

• Joker: -2 points
• Ace: 1 point
• King: 0 points
• Jack/Queen: 10 points
• Number cards: Face value
