Cards 287

**Objective**

Welcome to Golf, where the only swings you'll be making involve cards, not clubs! Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and let’s be honest, you really have no choice), is to transfer all the cards from the seven columns to the single waste pile faster than a cheetah on roller skates. Sounds easy-peasy, right? Like a game of hopscotch on a sugar high! But hey, if this gets too intense, we have tiddly-winks waiting in the wings.

**Golf Rules**

Here’s the scoop: all your card shuffling happens on the single waste pile, which, let's face it, sounds like a fancy term for “the pile of regret.” You can transfer a single exposed card from one of the seven columns to the waste pile if it follows the sacred sequence of ‘up or down’—like a seesaw at a playground, but with less fun. So, if you've got a 6 hanging out, toss on a 5 or 7 like you're the DJ of the card world! And yes, Kings can totally cozy up to Aces—it's a royal love story for the ages!

When you run out of moves and the columns are as empty as your fridge on a Sunday night, don’t panic! Just draw from the stock (not the stock market, mind you) and keep building. Once that stock is gone and the game is like a sitcom with no more seasons, it’s curtains, my friend.

Now, for your first move in Rules 1 and 2, you can play any exposed column card and kick off the chaos. So, channel your inner card detective and scan those cards like they owe you money! For all other rules, you’ll start with a card from the stock, which is basically like starting a race with a potato sack.

Remember, your score is directly linked to how fast you clear those columns—so you better put the pedal to the metal! My personal best on Rule 1 is 43 seconds, and I was zooming like a squirrel on a caffeine rush. Sub-minute times might seem like trying to find a unicorn, but with enough practice, you’ll be playing on instinct faster than a cat can knock over a glass of water.

And don’t forget, if you’re feeling fancy, double-click or right-click on a card to send it soaring to the waste pile like it’s auditioning for a superhero movie! Good luck, and may the cards be ever in your favor!
