Golf Based Card Game

Abstract

The present invention is a golf scenario game where the object is to obtain the lowest score. The game includes a plurality of score sheets each having a plurality of consecutively numbered hole sections to be played, each hole section having an indicator indicating the par for the that hole section. The game further includes a plurality of dice which can be rolled to determine a score when a hole section is played. Each dice has a side displaying an indicator selected from the group consisting of zero, 1, 2 and “card”. Finally, the game further includes a plurality of cards, each card having a side with a written scenario illustrating a rule of golf and having instructions for adjusting the score determined by the roll of the dice. The method of playing this game including the steps of first selecting a first hole section to be played from the score sheet and reading the par for said hole section. A plurality of dice equal to the par for the hole section being played is then selected, and the dice are rolled to display a core equal to the cumulative total displayed on the dice rolled. In the event the “card” symbol is rolled by a player, the player randomly selects a card and modifies the score on the hole by following the scoring instructions on the card.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates generally to games which use dice and cards to simulate the playing of a golf game.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Simulated golf type games have been in existence for many years. Various board game based golf simulation games often include score sheets of the type generally used in real golf to help players record their score. In some simulated golf games, an elaborate board is used which incorporates a stylized image of part of a golf course, for example a particular hole. In other golf games, a player's score is determined by the player repeatedly engaging a random number generator type of device (such as a wheel or a plurality of multi-facetted dice). The random number generator will generate a number which can be used to help determine the players score. In U.S. Pat. No. 6,047,967 for example, the player uses a dice to determine how many “yards” a player has carried the ball, which in turn helps to determine the player's score ...

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a golf scenario game that involves playing a series of hole sections on a scorecard and rolling dice to determine the score. The game includes a scorecard with multiple hole sections, a set of dice with indicators for each section, and a set of cards with rules and instructions for adjusting the score. The game can be played with multiple players by dealing cards to each player and selecting a hole section to play. The dice are then rolled and the score is adjusted based on the rules and instruction on the cards. The technical effect of this invention is a more exciting and engaging version of golf simulation that adds a level of strategy and challenge to the game.

Problems solved by technology

While previous simulated golf games did attempt to incorporate various golf related scenarios and used the element of chance to help determine a player's score, the previous games were often difficult to play requiring a cumbersome game board as well as a variety of other game related items.

The games were often complicated to play and took a fair length of time to play.
