"Paddy O’Shea’s Golf Card Game™," a new card game that is more fun than Uno and more challenging than Hearts!  It is a great, new, unique game that golfers and card players find fun and challenging.  It emulates golf in many ways; the lead goes back and forth; it is stimulating, exciting, at times frustrating and the object of the game is to score as few points as possible. The game is easy to learn, and unpredictable in its play.  Strategy, skill, and luck are involved.  The game consists of nine hands (“Rounds”) and usually takes 40 to 50 minutes to play a game.  Most players want to play more than one game! Paddy O’Shea’s Golf Card Game is designed to be played by 2 to 6 players ages 10 and up.

Social and competitive players alike will enjoy the clever nuances of this game. KARMA is an elimination game where everyone wins – except the last player holding cards. Each turn play a card of equal or higher value to avoid picking up the entire discard pile. Move through your cards faster by playing doubles or triples. KARMA CARDS can get you out of a jam, but be careful because WHAT GOES AROUND…COMES AROUND!
