Dice Golf Dice Game Rules
Dice Golf is a dice game for 2-6 players. A game typically takes 10-20 minutes, and the recommended age is 6+.
Rules for Dice Golf: Nine holes with three dice, where you roll until a double appears and the fewest strokes wins.
Setup
Dice Golf is played with three dice, a sheet of paper and something to write with. Give each player a column with nine rows, one for each hole. The game works for two to six players and requires no golf knowledge, just a little patience when the dice refuse to cooperate.
How to play
The course has nine holes, and everyone plays one hole at a time. On your turn you roll all three dice until at least two of them show the same number, a double. Every throw without a double is one stroke, so make a mark for each of them. The throw where the double appears is the ball dropping into the hole, and it costs nothing.
If you roll a double straight away, you leave the hole without a single stroke on your card. That is this game's answer to a hole in one.
Winning
After each hole, write down your strokes and pass the dice to the next player. Once everyone has played nine holes, add everything up. As in real golf, the player with the fewest strokes in total wins.
