Local Rules

Mini golf built out of other games, with their rules still running. Pins at the end of a bowling lane, curling ice makes the ball slide, a boxing ring whose gloves jab on a timetable, pinball bumpers, a goalie shuffling post to post, lily pads on a lake, two columns of ants marching across a picnic blanket, and a card table where only a face-up pair lets the ball through.

Up to four players take turns on one screen. Play the front nine, the back nine, all eighteen, or a quick three, and the scorecard keeps Out and In.

A ball that stops in the way of something moving is set down clear of it. Water costs a stroke and the ball goes back where it was played from, and no hole can cost more than six.

HOW TO PLAY

Pull back and let go to putt; pull further to hit harder. You can pull from anywhere on the screen, and a pull too short to count simply cancels. Tap your seat to put a name on it.

With a mouse, drag the same way. On a keyboard, left and right aim, with Shift for fine steps, up and down set the power, and Space or Enter putts. The aim starts pointed at the cup. M turns the sound on and off.
