Play 6 Card Golf Online Free
Trade high cards for low ones, pair your columns, and reveal your way to a better score. A quick, quiet round across the table from Mina.
Six Card Golf (also written 6 Card Golf) is a low-score card game. Play a one-hole quick round against Mina, the computer opponent, without downloading an app. Each player has six cards in a two-by-three grid, with two face up. Hidden cards stay unknown to you, the computer, and the hint system until revealed. Traditional matches run for nine holes; this version scores one deal at a time.
How to Play 6 Card Golf
Draw from the stock or discard pile, then replace a card in your grid. A card taken from the discard must be used. Only a stock draw can be discarded without a swap. In this quick-play variant, discarding also reveals your next face-down card, reading left to right across each row. Replaced cards stay face up. The round ends immediately when either grid is fully revealed, then all remaining cards turn over for scoring. During play, visible points are only a subtotal, not your final score.
Six Card Golf scoring at a glance
| Card | Points |
|---|---|
| King | 0 |
| Ace | 1 |
| 2 | -2 |
| 3 to 10 | Face value |
| Jack or Queen | 10 |
| Same-rank vertical pair | 0 for the column |
Kings score 0, Aces score 1, twos score -2, cards 3 through 10 score face value, and Jacks or Queens score 10. Two cards of the same rank in one vertical column cancel to 0, including a pair of twos. The lower total wins; equal totals are a draw. The leaderboard converts your total into 60 minus your round score, so a better round earns a higher game score.
A 6 Card Golf scoring example
Matching 9s: 0
-2 + 0 = -2
7 + 1 = 8The two 9s cancel because they share a column. Matching cards in the same row do not cancel. Two 2s in one column also cancel to 0, so keeping a single 2 with a King gives a better score (-2) than pairing the 2s.
Do matching cards cancel in 6 Card Golf?
Two cards of the same rank cancel only when they share a vertical column. Matching Queens in different columns still count 10 each. A Jack and a Queen do not cancel, even though both are worth 10.
Does the other player get one last turn?
No. This quick-play table scores the hole immediately when either player reveals all six cards. Some groups allow a final turn or play nine holes.
