Golf with Cards

This app contains three games: Four cards golf, Six cards golf, Scat (Blitz or 31). You can select a desired game from the Settings.

Four Cards rules

This is a game for two players.

Like in a real golf the goal of this game is to earn as few points as possible.

Each game consist of nine rounds. At the beginning of a round each player receives 4 cards face down, the rest are put in a draw pile. One of them from the draw pile is put in a discard pile, face up.

Before the play begins, players can look, only once, at the two cards nearest to them in their square layout. They must be kept secret from other players. Players may not look at the cards in their layout again unless they are discarding them during play or scoring them at the end of the game.

On their turn, players may draw a card from the draw pile. You may use it to replace any four cards in your layout, but you cannot look at the face of the card you are replacing. Try to remember which card is the replacement. Move the card you choose to replace in your layout to the discard pile of face up cards. You can draw from this pile and simply discard the card, face-up, without using it.

Players may draw a card from the discard pile. Since these cards are face-up, you must use one to replace a card in your layout, then discard it. You may not put the drawn card back in the pile without changing your layout.

Players can also choose to knock. After you knock your turn is over. Play moves on in a normal fashion, other players may draw or discard, but they cannot knock. The round ends afterward.

Scoring:
- Any pairs of cards (of the same value) in a column or a row are worth 0 points
- Jokers are worth -2 points
- Kings are worth 0 points
- Queens and Jacks are worth 10 points
- Every other card is worth their rank
- All 4 of the same card are worth -6 points

You can play agains an AI bot or your friends on the same device or via the Internet.

Six Cards rules

This is a game for two players.

Like in a real golf the goal of this game is to earn as few points as possible.

Each game consist of nine rounds. At the beginning of a round each player receives 6 cards face down, the rest are put in a draw pile. One of them from the draw pile is put in a discard pile, face up.

At first a player have to face up two his/her cards. After that he/she can reduce the value of the cards in front of them by either swapping them for lesser value cards or by pairing them up in columns with cards of equal rank.

Players make turns drawing a single card from either the draw pile or the discard pile. The drawn card may either be swapped for one of that player's card, or just discarded. If it is swapped for one of the face down card, the cad swapped in remains face up. If the card drawn is discarded, the player's turn is passed. The round ends when all of a player's cards are face-up.

Scoring:
- Any pairs of cards in a column are worth 0 points
- Jokers are worth -2 points
- Kings are worth 0 points
- Queens and Jacks are worth 20 points
- Every other card is worth their rank

To swap one of the your cards with the discard one just tap on this card. To play a card from the deck, tap on the draw pile to face it up and after that either tap on the discard pile to discard it or tap on one of the your cards for swapping.
