Golf, six cards and a low score
Six cards. A little luck. Go low.
Swap high cards for low ones, make matching columns, and finish nine holes with the lowest total. Golf is free to play in your browser, at your own table or with friends far away.
A matching pair can change everything
Your six cards sit in two rows of three. Only two are face up at the start. Draw a card, decide whether it helps, and replace a card in your layout. Two cards of the same rank in one vertical column score zero.
Kings are worth zero and Twos are worth minus two. But the other players are working on their hands too. As soon as someone reveals their sixth card, the hole ends and every hidden card counts.

Are all online games rated?
Only completed public games with the standard rules, enough human players and no computer seats at the start are rated. Private games and games started with computers are unrated. A computer taking over after someone leaves does not erase the result.
