Gameplay: Build Your Course, Minimize Your Score
"Gnoming a Round" combines card drafting, set collection, and a bit of push-your-luck to create a fun and engaging experience.
-
Setup: Each player starts with nine cards, arranged face-down in a 3x3 grid. This represents your mini-golf course.
-
Card Types: The deck includes cards with various values (positive and negative) and potentially special abilities or hazards. The "new look" and theme suggest cards representing different aspects of a mini-golf course.
-
Turns: On your turn, you'll draw a card and either:
-
Replace a Card: Swap the drawn card with one of the cards (face-up or face-down) in your 3x3 grid. The replaced card is then available for the next player.
-
Discard and Affect: Discard the drawn card, and potentially trigger a special effect based on the card or game rules.
-
Forming Sets: The key to scoring low is to create:
-
Rows or Columns of Three Identical Positive Cards: These become negative points equal to the card's value (e.g., three 6's become -6 points). This is a clever twist on typical set collection.
- Avoiding negative cards
-
Hazards: Beware of hazard cards! These likely add points to your score.
-
Ending a Round: As soon as one player has all their cards face-up, each other player gets one final turn. Then the round ends.
-
Scoring: Calculate your score based on the face-up cards in your grid, remembering that sets of three identical positive cards become negative points.
-
Multiple Rounds: Play three rounds, totaling your scores after each round.
-
Winning: The player with the lowest total score after three rounds wins and is crowned the Gnomies' Greens champion!
