Card Golf

[ttpp]Simulation of Golf game with Cards[yyxx]

It’s a simulation of a Golf card game played with a standard 52-card deck plus 2 Jokers. Each player is dealt 6 cards face down, and the remaining deck is placed face down to form the stock pile. The top card of the stock is turned face up to start the discard pile beside it.

The goal is to reduce the total value of the cards in front of each player by swapping them with lower-value cards or pairing cards of the same rank in columns to achieve the lowest possible score. The player with the lowest cumulative score after 9 rounds wins, while the highest total score loses. The game consists of exactly 9 rounds, referred to as "holes."

Starting from the dealer's left, players take turns drawing one card either from the top of the stock pile or the discard pile. After drawing, the player may choose to swap the drawn card with one of their 6 face-down cards. If a swap is made, the new card is placed face up in the same position. Alternatively, the player may discard the drawn card without making a swap, ending their turn. A round concludes when all six cards in front of a player are face-up.

The game spans nine holes (rounds), and the player with the lowest total score across all rounds is declared the winner.
