- An 8-card variant, laid out as two rows of four. The existing column
scoring covers it without change.
- Opening cards are now chosen rather than dealt face up. Nothing starts
revealed; each player in turn turns over their allowance, and the hole
begins once everyone has picked. This needed a new SETUP phase in the
engine, since it is a real decision and has to be validated like any
other move rather than being decided at deal time.
- "Line up the final putt", off by default: throw a drawn card away
without turning your last face-down card over, so you are not forced to
close the hole on a card you did not choose. Only offered on the last
face-down card. Because a whole table could otherwise decline forever,
two full laps of nothing but thrown cards calls the hole and scores it
where it stands.
- The end of a hole now shows a score card — every player's strokes for
the hole and their running total, lowest first — and the next hole is
not dealt until it is dismissed. MatchController gained a general
awaitsConfirmation hook for this, so any game wanting a scoreboard
between rounds can stop the table the same way. Only the host waits;
clients render what they are sent.
Nine more Golf tests, covering the 8-card layout, the opening choice,
when the putt option is and is not offered, and that a table refusing to
putt out still finishes.
