Golf´n´Roll

This campaing has the objetive of making the game Golf´n´Roll. It is an easy boardgame mainly oriented to kids and families, but its addictive nature will grant nice moments to the "frequent gamers".

Golf´n´Roll is a turn based boardgame for 1-4 players that takes 20-40 minutes to play. The objective is putting the golf ball into the different holes located along the camp, in as few strokes as possible. To achieve this goal, players must choose the type of club, the strenght of the stroke and, obviously, roll the dice to determine where the golf ball lands!.

GOLF´N´ROLL VIDEO (ENGLISH)

Golf´n´Roll is played in a rectangular double sided board and includes 4 tokens to represent the golfers, 4 circular numbered ball tokens, 3 club tokens, 20 "Weather Event" cards and 4 multicolor dice (white, green, yellow and red).

The game board represents a golf course with 9 holes. Each hole is divided in squares for golfers to move along after they strike the golf ball. Each square has a gem, with a color that indicates the dificulty of that stretch (green, yellow or red) and a black mark representing diffrerent obstacles (flat, vertical bar or cross). The last squares in each hole have a darker color and represent the “Green”. Among them, the one with a flag is known as “Hole”.

Example of hole in a Golf´n´Roll board.

Golf ball tokens have two sides:

-Front, white. This side lets the player strike the ball normally (without "Trouble!”).

-Back, black with exclamation. This represents "Trouble", and it affects the player´s stroke in different ways.

All dice have six sides but different colors and numbers:

-Green. Three "1" sides, two "2" sides, one "3" side.

-Yellow. One "1" side, four "2" sides, one "3" side.

-Red. One "1" side, two "2" sides, three "3" sides.

-White. Standard six sides die.

Golf´n´Roll rules are simple, and we can sumarize them in a few lines:

I. Choose the type of game.

II. Select golf course and hole number and put your golfer token in the first square (tee).

III. Progress through the hole, by doing strokes from the fairway or the green.

Stroke from a fairway square
• Choose club (short, medium or large) and roll with the selected strengh (green-soft, yellow-medium, red-strong) to resolve the Distance.
• Put your golf ball token in the square according to the Distance achieved and roll 1d6 (white) for Direction.
• If you pass the "Direction" test, all is well!. You can follow these steps normally in your next turn.
• If you failed the Direction test, you must roll an Obstacle test.
• If you pass this second test you are safe!, Congratulations, you have barely avoided a rough terrain, a sand pit or striking the ball out of the court (Phew!). Follow these steps from the beginning in your next turn.
• If you fail this Obstacle test, you must determine the effects in the chart provided, they will affect your next turn.

Stroke from a Green/Hole square
• Roll 1d6 (white) and resolve the success or fail of the Putt.
• If you fail the test, you must determine where the golf ball lands (Green or Hole square).
• If you pass the test (Hurray!!), write down the result (number of strokes you required to get the ball into the hole) and move on to the next hole.

TYPES OF GAMES

Golf´n´Roll players may just progress through the course without worrying about the number of strokes they need. However, the most competitive players may challenge themselves to beat the par of the course or even play a match vs other golfers.

1. Training

The player, alone or with others, moves through the course without counting the number of strokes needed to finish it.

1. Challenge

The player, by himslef or along with others, tries to beat the par of the course. Write down your results after each hole, and add them all up at the end of the game; then check if your number is more or less that the Par of the course.

Par 3 Hole: 3-7 squares

Par 4 Hole: 8-11 squares

Par 5 Hole: 12-16 squares

1. Player vs Player

Two players play the course simultaneously. The player that requires less strokes in one hole gets one point. The player that accumulates more points at the end of the course wins.

1. Championship

One or more players play a minimum of 4 courses in Challenge mode. The player that gets the less strokes in each round wins a Cup. The player with more Cups at the end of the championship is the winner.

1. RESERVED FOR COUNTRY-CLUB MEMBERS ONLY

This game mode is blocked until certain objectives of the campaign are achieved.

Weather Events

Golf can be played under very different weather conditions, and sometimes things can get really complicated for players!. To represent this, you can decide to use a deck of "Weather Events".

If you do so, shuffle the Weather event deck and have the players take turns revealing the first card at the beginning of each hole. Each card has a tittle with an illustration and four icons (Distance, Direction, Obstacle and Putt) that indicate the effects on each dice roll for each category during that hole.
