+## Chess Golf
+Pairs of chess pieces caddy for each other, while all the players try to work
+out the most efficient path to deliver a golf ball across the board.
+
+### Equipment
+A standard chess set and a standard deck of 52 cards. You'll also need a pencil
+and paper for keeping score, a timer, and some coins. 4 coins are probably
+enough, and you can even play without them. A one-minute timer works well,
+although anything from 30 seconds to two minutes would be fine.
+
+### Setup
+Place all the chess pieces except the pawns beside the board. Put the pawns
+away, you won't need them.
+
+From the deck of cards, use one card to represent each piece:
+
+* White King - King of Hearts
+* White Queen - Queen of Hearts
+* White Rooks - 10 of Hearts and Diamonds
+* White Bishops  - 9 of Hearts and Diamonds
+* White Knights - 8 of Hearts and Diamonds
+* Black King - King of Spades
+* Black Queen - Queen of Spades
+* Black Rooks - 10 of Spades and Clubs
+* Black Bishops  - 9 of Spades and Clubs
+* Black Knights - 8 of Spades and Clubs
+
+Put the rest of the cards away, you won't need them. Then shuffle the cards and
+place them next to the board. Draw one card at a time, placing the matching
+piece on the board. Starting in the top left corner, leave the following numbers
+of empty squares before each piece:
+
+* Kings - 6 empty squares
+* Queens - 5 empty squares
+* Rooks - 3 empty squares
+* Bishops - 2 empty squares
+* Knights - 1 empty square
+
+Shuffle the cards again, and place them next to the board as a draw pile.
+
+Choose a scorekeeper, and get them to write everyone's initials at the top of
+the paper, leaving enough room for 9 scores and a course total. Leave room for
+18 scores, if you're playing a full round.
+
+### Play
+Each turn, **draw** two cards and place them face up next to the board where all
+players can see them. Check the table above, and **announce** the two chosen
+piece types for this turn. Then **start** the timer.
+
+All players now plan how to get one of the two pieces to hit a golf ball at the
+other in the fewest strokes. While planning, no one actually moves the pieces.
+For each stroke, choose a piece to hit a golf ball. They can hit a golf ball
+to land one chess move away. However, they don't use their own type of move.
+Instead, they pick one of their neighbouring pieces as a caddy and use the
+caddy's golf club to move the ball with the caddy's chess move.
+
+If one of the two chosen piece types can hit a ball to the other chosen piece
+type, then that's the final stroke and no pieces move. Otherwise, the ball has
+to land in an empty square, and the piece that hit it moves to the empty square.
+The caddy doesn't move. Remember, though, don't actually move any pieces while
+planning. Just visualize how the pieces will move and count how many strokes you
+need to deliver the ball.
+
+One extra restriction: all white pieces are right handed, and can only use
+right-handed, white caddies. All black pieces are left handed, and can only use
+left-handed, black caddies. Caddies must be in one of the 8 squares directly
+surrounding the piece.
+
+If no black pieces have caddies or no white pieces have caddies at the start of
+the game, start at the kings and work your way down to the knights. If swapping
+a black and a white piece would make it so that there is at least one caddy pair
+of each colour, then make the swap and stop.
+
+You may move other pieces besides the two chosen piece types. This is often
+helpful if the chosen pieces have no neighbours.
+
+When you have found a path and counted the strokes, put your fist on the table
+to show that you're ready. When all the players have a fist on the table or
+when the timer runs out, the planning phase ends.
+
+Now, everyone reveals their stroke count at the same time. Bang your fist on the
+table as you count "one, two, three." As you say "three," everyone puts out a
+number of fingers to show how many strokes they need. The scorekeeper writes
+down everyone's strokes. If you think it's impossible, put out zero fingers.
+
+The player with the fewest strokes must now demonstrate the path. If some
+players are tied for fewest, start with the scorekeeper and go around to the
+left until you reach one of the tied players. That player must demonstrate. It
+can be helpful to start by placing coins under all the pieces that you're going
+to move, so you can reset if you get confused.
+
+Players should not be allowed to hesitate more than a few seconds while
+demonstrating. Be kind, especially to younger players, but you can't sit and
+try to solve it at this point.
+
+If the player can't demonstrate their path, then they get the maximum of all the
+other players' strokes, plus a one-stroke penalty. Reset the pieces to where
+they started and get the player with the next lowest strokes to demonstrate.
+
+If some players put out zero fingers, let the lowest nonzero player demonstrate.
+If they are successful, then all the zero players get the maximum strokes plus
+a one-stroke penalty.
+
+After a successful demonstration, leave the pieces in their final positions, but
+remember that the last stroke only delivers the ball without moving the piece.
+Remove the coins, if you used them. Choose a new scorekeeper by passing the
+pencil and paper one player to the left.
+
+### Game End
+Continue drawing two cards each turn until the deck runs out. For the ninth
+hole, use the two kings. If you want to play a full round, shuffle the cards and
+play the back nine holes. You don't need to lay out the pieces again.
+
+Add up the scores for all 9 or 18 holes, and award the game to the player with
+the lowest score. A tie goes to the best dressed player.
