Golf, at a card table

Six-card Golf is a game of small improvements. Replace high cards with low ones, or line up equal ranks vertically to cancel an entire column. Your opponent has the same six-card layout and draws from the same deck.

This table plays nine holes against a computer. It uses one standard 52-card deck, no jokers, and reveals both layouts at the end of each hole. Your moves and scorecard stay in this browser.

A few table rules

What counts as a pair?

Two equal ranks in the same vertical column score zero. Cards beside each other do not cancel.

How do card values work?

Aces score 1, twos −2, kings 0, and jacks and queens 10. Other cards score their number.

When does a hole end?

As soon as either layout is entirely face up, both layouts are scored. There is no extra final turn at this table.

Can I discard the card I just took?

A stock draw may be discarded. A card taken from the discard pile must replace one of your six cards.
