Description Edit | History

In Box of Golf, you roll a variable set of dice to determine distance, and play collected tokens to modify the result. Just like in real golf, the object is to beat par. The par number for each hole is located in the upper left corner of each board. You begin each hole on the Tee Box and move your playing piece based on matching like colors on your dice. You are trying to beat par on each hole, by taking the least number of turns to get to the cup on the putting surface. The object of each hole is to beat par and your opponent. The object of the game - the player with the most gems wins!
