  1. Golf Solitaire Card Game. Golf Solitaire is a popular solitaire card game where you're trying to remove all the cards from the seven columns by moving them into the waste pile. You can click a card to move it into the waste pile if it is one more than or one less than the card that is currently on the top of the waste pile.
  2. Golf can be played so that instead of ending the game automatically, a player must choose to 'knock' instead of taking their turn. Remaining players then have one turn to draw a card to improve their hands and then scores are totaled and recorded on a running score sheet.
  3. HOW TO PLAY: Each player begins the round with no chips. The first player that hits a shot that corresponds to the designation on the chip is given that chip. He/she holds on to that chip until someone else hits the same shot.
  4. The objective of the game is to earn as few points as possible. (Or if you think about golf, you want the lowest score possible). Each game consists of 9 rounds, (or 9 holes. You can also play 18 holes) and the player with the lowest combined score at the end of the 9 rounds wins the game.

The game can either stop at this point (which we usually do), or you can go ahead an play for 2nd place (aka first loser). Special Cards As stated earlier some cards are special, and have actions to let you avoid picking up the pile, or affecting the next players turn.

Overview

Sitting in the clubhouse waiting for a storm to roll through so you can tee off? Pass the time with some cards.

Golf is a card game that requires players to have a good memory and to use strategy to create a winning hand. The game is so named because the objective is to achieve the lowest score possible.

The Deal

The dealer position rotates from player to player around the table in a clockwise manner, changing at the end of every deal. Each player is dealt four cards and then arranges his cards face down to create a two-by-two grid.

Players are permitted to look at the bottom two cards before placing them back on the table face down. From that point, players are not allowed to look at their cards unless making a play with one of them. One card is turned face up from the top of the pile to form a discard pile.

Objective

Players attempt to create a combination of four cards with the lowest possible point value.

Aces are worth one point, numbered cards are worth their value, and kings and queens are worth 10 points.

A jack is worth zero points, making it the best card.

Adjacent cards — in the same row or column — of the same value (face cards must match; i.e. king and king) cancel each other and are worth zero points. Point totals are recorded at the end of each round. Typically, a game of golf consists of nine or 18 hands. The player with the lowest point total at the end of the round wins.

Play

The player to the left of the dealer goes first.

He may take the top card off the discard pile and exchange it with one of his four cards, placing his original face-down card in the discard pile. Or he may take the top card off the deck and either exchange it in similar fashion or, if the card is not to his liking, place it in the discard pile. Play rotates around the table in a clockwise manner. Players may exchange their cards as many times as they like.

When a player thinks he has achieved his lowest possible score for the hand, he 'knocks' on his turn. Every other player gets one more turn.

Setting Up Pyramid Solitaire

Pyramid Solitaire is played with a deck of 52 cards (with no jokers). As you can see from the picture below, you must deal a pyramid that is seven cards high that descends to be seven cards wide. A total of 28 cards are dealt to this pyramid, all face up. With the remaining 24 cards you can start the game with three cards turned over in seperate columns, also shown in the picture below.

Rules of Pyramid Solitaire

There are two types of pyramid solitaire game, Classic and Modern. They both share the majority of rules, but the modern game is easier and considered by many to be much more fun! The idea of the game is to remove all the cards from the pyramid, although some purists may argue that all cards including the cards you can deal for yourself should be removed. We consider that a solitaire folly, but what the hey, play which ever version floats your boat!

Shared Rules

  • Cards can only be removed if they are completely exposed with no overlapping cards.
  • Pairs of cards that add up to 13 can only be removed together. For example an Ace and a Queen (a Queen is equal to 12), a two and a Jack (a Jack is equal to 11), a three and a ten, and so on.
  • A King can be removed on its own, as it equals 13.
  • You can deal 3 cards out, under the pyramid each time you are stuck.

At this point the rules of games diverge.

Classic Rules

  • Once you deal out the remaining cards until they run out, they can be combined (without shuffling) 3 times and then redealt. If you are looking for a particularly difficult to complete version, then you can see if you can win using only one deal.
  • Can be played by either aiming to remove the pyramid on it's own, or trying to remove every single card in the deck.

Modern Rules

  • The goal is to remove the pyramid only, but for an extra challenge try to remove all the cards that are dealt in groups of 3 aswell.
  • You can only deal out the cards at the bottom once.
  • However to make the game a better test of logic and planning, this version introduces the idea of a temporary card store. You may take one immediately accessible card from either pyramid or the 3 card deal at the bottom, letting it free up a card below. You can then use this card at any point, however the 'temporary card store' can only hold one card, so the card in the store must be used before you can place another card in the 'temporary card store'.

How to Win Pyramid Solitaire

We all want to be winners, so let's see what tips and tricks will let you do that in Pyramid Solitaire!

  • Always remove Kings as soon as possible, they do nothing except get in the way!
  • See if the game is worth playing! If for example all the 6s are at the top of the pyramid, with all the sevens below it will be impossible to win the game. In the modern version of the rules with the temporary card store, there are far fewer obvious blocking conditions than when using the classic rules.
  • You must look to plan your moves. So ideally each move frees up a card below that you can immediately use. The modern variation favours more planning and logic, than the classic variation which is much more based on luck.
  • Assuming you are playing to the rule of removing just the pyramid, then removing cards in the pyramid is almost always preferable! But if you are playing to remove every single card, it is often necessary to take the effort to split the removal of cards from the lower 3 card deal, while looking at the pyramid to avoid the blocking conditions mentioned previously.
