NINE CARD GOLF FOR FOUR OR MORE The multi-player game of golf has little in common with its solitaire cousin. Deal Four or more players use three standard 52- Card Deck s plus 6 Jokers . Each player is dealt 9 cards face down from the deck, the remainder is placed face down to form the stock and the top card is turned up to start the discard pile beside it. Players arrange their 9 cards in 3 rows of 3 in front of them and turn 2 of these cards face up. This arrangement is maintained throughout the game and players always have 9 cards in front of them. Play The object is for players to reduce the value of the cards in front of them by either swapping them for lesser value cards or by pairing them up with cards of equal rank. Beginning at dealer's left, players take turns drawing single cards from either the stock or discard piles. The drawn card may either be swapped for one of that player's 9 cards, or discarded. If the card is swapped for one of the face down cards, the card swapped in remains face up. The round ends when all of a player's cards are face-up. Remaining players then have one turn to draw a card to improve their hands and then scores are totaled and recorded on a running score sheet. Point Values The point value of cards is as follows:
3 of a Kind 3 of a Kind are formed by cards of equal rank in the same column, row, or diagonal and override the normal point values of those cards and scores 0 Game Game is nine "holes" (deals) and the player with the lowest total score is designated winner. Penalties A player who who goes out first but doesn't end with the lowest score (not equal to) is penalized 10 points |
