About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game enthusiasts! How about a few swings without leaving home? In Golfie, we hit the golf course in a totally different way, using cards to simulate each hole. The goal? To score the fewest points possible, just like in real golf, but with a strategic card game twist that's pure fun!
Each player has their own 9-card 'course,' and the game unfolds over 28 total actions to complete a 9-hole round. These actions are determined by a shuffled deck of action cards that dictate what you can do each turn. It's like golf where you not only hit the ball but also need to be a master at combining and moving your cards to optimize your score. Think about how to arrange your cards to create the best patterns and combos, always aiming for the lowest possible value at the end.
And that's not all! Golfie offers game modes for everyone: you can play solo if you want a particular challenge; there's a team mode (2v2, 3v3, or 4v4) for those who enjoy cooperative competition; and the classic versus mode, for up to 8 players to face off. Each round, an action card is revealed, and everyone acts simultaneously, adding a layer of unpredictability and bluffing. Watch out for crocodiles, they can make you lose your ball and cost you precious points! Ultimately, whoever has the lowest score on the 18-hole course (yes, the game can have 18 holes for a complete experience!) takes the victory. It's a light, fast-paced, and perfect game for anyone looking for something different and strategic with cards.
