MULTI-PLAYER GAME One version of Golf is a Card Game for four or more players. Gameplay Golf is played using two standard 52 Card Deck s, and 4 Jokers . Initially, each player is dealt 6 (or in some versions, 8) cards face-down from the shuffled deck, whose remainder (the stock pile) is placed face-down on the table with a face-up card (the discard pile) next to it. The goal of each player is to reduce the value of cards in front of him by replacing them with lesser-value cards or pairing them up with same-value cards. To begin play each player arranges the 6 cards in 3 rows of 2 (or in the case of the 8-card version, 4 rows of 2) in front of him and then turns two cards face-up. During each turn, a player may draw 1 card from the stock pile or the discard pile. The player can then replace one of the cards in front of him with the drawn card or discard the drawn card. As the face-down cards are replaced they become face-up. The game ends when a player has all of his cards face-up. The remaining players then have one turn to draw a card to improve their hands. After this is complete, the totals of each hand are recorded under that player’s name on a score sheet. Any like-value cards that are paired side by side are then worth 0 points, unless the pair consists of Jokers, which scores as -4 points. If 4 like-value cards are in a group of 4 then each of the opponents receives 10 extra points. This play(s) is/Are repeated for 9 hands (hence the name ''golf''). The player with the lowest score at the end of 9 hands is the winner. Point Values The point vale of cards is as follows:
