Acey-Ducey

A Skins game with a twist
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2-4

OBJECT OF THE GAME: To make a lower score than any other player to win a Skin, AND to not make a higher score than any other player to avoid paying each of your opponents. Scoring can be either your actual scores Gross), or using handicap stokes Net). Each hole represents a chance to earn a point from each player for the single lowest score, and/or a point paid to each player for the highest score. The value of each point is determined before the round begins. ACE is for low scores on the hole, the DEUCE is for high score. ACE’s are worth two times the DEUCE points.

FOR EXAMPLE: $1.00 Ace and 50¢ Deuce Points:

  1. Scores = Bob 5, Jeff 6, Sam 5 and Dylan 4. (Dylan is the ACE, Jeff the DEUCE)
    Jeff owes 50¢ each to Bob, Sam and Dylan DEUCE)
    2. Dylan earns $1.00 each from Bob, Jeff and Sam. (Jeff pays a total of $1.50 to Dylan)
  2. Scores = Bob 4, Jeff 4, Sam 4 and Dylan 5 In this situation, there are no points for lowest score. (ACE) Dylan owes Bob, Jeff, and Sam 50¢ each. He is the (DEUCE)

    Carry-overs are optional for the lowest score ACE) points. In the example above, there is $3.00 to be won if you’re the ACE on a hole. If two tie for the low score as in example #2) then all tie and the $3.00 is carried over to the next hole which then becomes worth $6.00 if you are the ACE. 50¢ is still the only amount at risk for a single highest score.
