This recreational activity combines elements of both disc golf and traditional card games. Participants use playing cards, often with rules tailored to simulate aspects of the outdoor sport, such as throwing distance, accuracy, and potential obstacles. For example, a card might represent a specific type of throw or require the player to overcome a virtual hazard, mirroring the challenges found on a disc golf course.
The adaptation offers several advantages. It provides a way to engage with the strategic thinking and competitive spirit of disc golf regardless of weather conditions or access to physical courses. Its portable nature makes it a convenient form of entertainment for travel or social gatherings. While the exact origins are difficult to pinpoint, the concept reflects a broader trend of adapting outdoor activities into tabletop formats, increasing accessibility and expanding the potential player base.
