Instead of real swings, you control the match with a specialized deck, where each card represents a stroke: Drive, Chip, or Putt. Each hole is a par‑3, and the card rankings shift depending on the phase of the hole, demanding quick adaptation from players. The goal? Capture the majority of holes by winning at least two of the three tricks in each hole. Once a team reaches five won holes, the game ends and the triumphant squad claims the imaginary trophy. The game accommodates 2 to 6 players, with playtimes ranging from 15 to 30 minutes—perfect for a quick lunch or a weekend session. Components are straightforward: a themed golf card deck and scoring tokens that resemble golf holes. The trick‑taking mechanic adds tension, as each card can swing the game in your favor or against it. For those who enjoy sports, team strategy, and a dash of luck, Best Shot offers a short but packed experience of pure tension and laughter. In short, it blends the elegance of golf with the unpredictability of a deck, ideal for anyone looking for something light yet competitive. ## FAQ ### What is the average game duration?
