Golf

Goal: Move all the cards to the Foundation. In Golf, you score based on the number of cards left in the columns. As in real golf, the lower the score, the better.

 

Setup: The game begins with one Foundation and seven Tableau columns, each containing five cards.

 

How to play:

 

First, choose any card from any column and move it to start the Foundation.

 

            Move cards from the Tableau columns to the Foundation, building the Foundation pile up or down, regardless of suit. Ace is low and King is high. You cannot wrap from King to Ace or from Ace to King. Cards cannot be moved between columns.

 

            When play comes to a standstill, click the Stock pile to flip a card onto the Foundation and continue play. Keep playing until no cards remain in the Stock pile.

 

Game actions and options

 

Right-click a card (Ctrl+Click on the Mac) to move it automatically, if possible.

 

To make the game more difficult, choose the options for Six Columns (play begins with six Tableau columns, each containing six cards) or Can't Play On Kings (no cards can be placed on Kings, neither Aces nor Queens—Kings are "the end of the line") in the game settings (click Settings on the Game menu).
