Golf card game

Card Game: Golf

1) This golf course has a 72 par for 18 holes.
2) Each hole is either a par 3, 4, or 5. The par for holes 1-9 are: 4, 4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 3, 4, 4. The pars for holes 10-18 are: 4, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 5.
3) This game is not played with the 9, 10, J, Q, K. Take those cards out of the deck.
4) Make three groups of cards. In group 1 put one each of the following cards: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. This group is used for par 3 holes. In group 2 put one each of the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. This group is used for the par 4 holes. In group 3 put one each of the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. This group is used for the par 5 holes.
5) Make sure all cards are face down in each group and shuffled.
6) Since the first hole is a par 4, only the cards in group 2 (2-7) are used.
7) Draw a card. The number drawn is how many shots it took to get the ball in. If you draw a 4, you made par. If you draw a 7, you made 3 over par. If you draw a 2, you made 2 under par. Keep a running list on paper of the score for each hole.
8) Put the card back in the group and shuffle them, then draw one for the hole 2 score.
9) On hole 4 it changes to a par 5, so you would use the group 3 cards (3-8).
10) On the par 3 holes, an ace is a hole in one.
11) The lowest score you can get (best) is a -36. You would have to get 2 under on all 18 holes. The highest score you can get (worst) is a +54. You would have to get 3 over on all 18 holes.

Players - (1 - 4 players) More than one player? One player plays at a time, then the next player shuffles the group of cards for that hole and draws. The player who gets the lowest score at the end of 18 holes wins.

Ties - If the score is tied at the end of 18 holes, each player plays another hole starting at hole 1. Whoever gets the lowest score on hole 1 is the winner. If hole 1 is a tie, then hole 2 is played and so on until the tie is broken.

Other Sports - More sport card games are baseball, basketball, boxing, drag racing, and horse racing.

Basketball card game

Card Game: Basketball

1) Both players draw a card from the deck. The highest card shoots first. Ace is the highest card. If a tie, both players draw another card from deck.
2) This game is not played with the 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A. Take those cards out of the deck. Shuffle the remaining deck of 12 cards.

4) Draw one card from the deck and see what it is. The card on top must always be selected next.

6) There are five men on each team.
7) As cards are drawn, they are put in a separate pile. No cards are reused for a teams (players) turn at shooting.
8) Cards keep being drawn until the five member team (player) each shoots. Then the other team (player) shoots.
9) The most points a team can make is 14 points. You would have to draw four 3's and one 2. The lowest points you can make is 2.

Players - (2 players) The first team shoots until all 5 players on the team have had a chance. Once a side has each made a shot, all 12 cards are shuffled. Then the second team shoots.

Ties - The side shooting second has to score more points to win the game. If they match the score, overtime is played to decide the winner. The team that shooted first draws a card from the deck of 12 cards. The the deck is shuffled and the second team draws a card from the deck of 12. Whoever has the most points wins. If still a tie, another overtime is played until tie is broken.

Match two cards

Card Game: Match two cards

1) Shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards.
2) Each player takes a card from the deck to see who goes first. The highest card goes first. Ace is the highest card. If a tie, both players draw another card from deck.
3) Reshuffle the deck.
4) Both players draw five cards from the deck. The cards are then put face up in front of each player so everyone can see them.
5) The goal is to match two of your five face up cards. (E.g., if one of your face up cards is a 7, you have to draw a 7. If you have a king, you have to draw a king.) If you have two face up cards that are a 6 and draw a 6, the drawn 6 can only be used to remove one of the face up 6's cards, not both of them.
6) Both players draw one card at a time from the deck. The card on top must always be selected next. The player who won the high card draw goes first. If a card is matched than both cards are taken off; the drawn card and the face up card. If no card is matched, just the drawn card is taken off and the other player goes next.

Players - (2 players) Both players take turns drawing a card from the deck one at a time. The first player to match two of their cards wins the game.

Baseball card game

Card Game: Baseball

1) Both players draw a card from the deck. The highest card bats first. Ace is the highest card. If a tie, both players draw another card from deck.
2) This game is not played with the 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. Take those cards out of the deck. Shuffle the remaining deck of 20 cards.
3) The cards have to be face down so you can't see them.
4) Draw one card from the deck and see what it is. The card on top must always be selected next.
5) In this baseball game, each card is a hit or an out. The ace is a single, a 2 is a double, a 3 is a triple, a 4 is a home run, and a 5 is an out.
6) As the cards are drawn, they get placed in a diamond formation just as if running the basses in baseball. (E.g., if you draw a 2, it is a double, so the card should go at the 12 o' clock position for second base. If you then draw a 3, it is a triple, so the runner at second scores and a man is on third base for a triple. The card gets placed at the 9 o' clock position for third base.)
7) Runners always advance. If a man is on third base and an ace is drawn for a single, the runner at third advances and scores at home plate.
8) As cards are drawn, they are put either on base, and as they score they are put in separate pile. Outs are put in the same pile as scored runs. No cards are reused for a sides (players) turn at bat.
9) Cards keep being drawn until a side (player) gets three outs (three 5's are drawn) then the other side (player) bats.
10) Scored runs can be kept track of on paper. Outs can be kept track of by turning the 5 cards up as they are drawn.

Players - (2 players) The first team bats until 3 outs are reached. Once a side is out, all 20 cards are shuffled. Then the second team bats.

Ties - The side batting second has to score more runs to win the game. If they match the score, an extra inning or innings are played.

Variations - The game can be played for more than 1 inning or a full 9 innings. One or no more than a few innings are recommended though, as more innings would have a much higher score than a real baseball game and take a long time to complete.
