## Description
Carpet Golf turns your tabletop or floor into a miniature golf course, complete with obstacles, trees, flags and even faux grass. Each game begins with players assembling the course using modular tiles, guaranteeing a fresh layout every time. Then each player picks a tiny golfer miniature that represents them and takes the swing. The goal is to finish the course in as few strokes as possible, recording results on the provided score sheets. Piece movement follows the Area Movement mechanic, meaning golfers advance from zone to zone while respecting collision rules and obstacles. Because it simulates golf, the game captures the feel of planning angles, choosing the right force, and dealing with course hazards. Components are nicely crafted: besides the modular board you get mini trees, shrubs, flags and even tiny ponds that add extra charm. A typical play‑through lasts about 90 minutes and, despite its 1/5 weight rating, demands careful positioning and stroke counting. It’s perfect for two players who enjoy a light‑weight strategic duel but still want the atmosphere of a golf tournament at home. If you like board games that blend terrain building, sports simulation, and a dash of nostalgia, Carpet Golf might be just the ticket.
