## Description
GOLO is a dice game that simulates an 18-hole golf match, but with a strategic and risk-filled twist. You use nine 12-sided dice (yes, they're unusual!) to represent the holes on the course. Five white dice are for par 4 holes, two red for par 3, and two blue for par 5. Each die can give you a result above, below, or at par for the hole. The game has two main modes: Traditional, where you roll all the dice and choose as many as you want to add to your score, and Golf Course Format, where you must follow the order of holes from a real course, requiring more strategy. The fun lies in deciding when to stop rolling and when to push your luck for a better score. It's a game that seems simple but has a nice strategic depth, especially when playing against others, where every decision impacts the whole game. It comes with dice, a rolling cup, score pad, pencil, and rules.
