Objective

Clear all 35 cards from the tableau onto the waste pile.

The game

Tableau
  • 7 columns with 5 cards each (35 total)
  • Only the bottom card of each column is playable
  • Play a card if it's exactly one rank above or below the waste pile's top card
Stock & Waste
  • 17 cards in stock
  • Click stock to flip one card to waste
  • No redeals - use the stock wisely

Wrapping

In the Wrap variant, Aces and Kings connect (A can play on K and vice versa). No Wrap variant treats them as dead ends.

Strategy

  • Build long chains before drawing from stock
  • Look for sequences that can chain multiple cards in a row
  • With wrapping enabled, Aces and Kings become more flexible

Why "Golf"?

The name comes from scoring - cards left in the tableau count against you, like strokes in golf. Lower is better.
