Golf Solitaire

Golf Solitaire is a fun and straightforward single-player card game that requires skill and strategy. The objective is to clear the tableau by removing all the cards, following specific rules.

Setup:

1. Use a standard 52-card deck for Golf Solitaire.
2. Shuffle the deck and deal seven tableau columns, each containing five cards, face up. The cards are arranged in a pyramid shape, with one card in the first column, two in the second, and so on.
3. Place the remaining cards face down as the draw pile.

Objective:

1. The goal is to clear the tableau by removing all the cards one at a time, either by pairing them with the top card of the waste pile or by placing them on the foundation.

Round Play:

1. You can remove a card from the tableau if it is one rank higher or lower than the top card of the waste pile. For example, if the top card of the waste pile is a 7, you can remove a 6 or an 8 from the tableau.
2. You can also remove a King when it's the top card on the tableau.
3. When you remove a card, the card beneath it becomes available for play.
4. You can draw cards from the draw pile (one at a time) to the waste pile. The top card of the draw pile is turned face up and is available for play.
5. When there are no more available moves in the tableau or with the draw pile, the round is over. You score points based on the number of cards remaining on the tableau, and the game can be played over multiple rounds to improve your score.

Scoring:

1. In Golf Solitaire, the objective is to score as few points as possible. You receive one point for each card remaining on the tableau.

Winning:

1. The game can be played over multiple rounds, and the goal is to achieve the lowest possible score by clearing the tableau.

Tips:

• Plan your moves carefully, as removing some cards might block access to others.
• Utilize the waste pile strategically to create opportunities to clear the tableau.
• Be mindful of the order of the cards on the tableau and how they can be removed.
• Remember that the Kings can be removed at any time.

Golf Solitaire is a simple yet addictive card game that provides a delightful challenge for players. The aim is to clear the tableau efficiently while aiming for the lowest possible score over multiple rounds.
