Chuiwan (Ancient Chinese Ball-and-Mallet Game)

Lay out a course across open ground with several small marked holes or target flags at varying distances.

Each player strikes their own ball from a starting point, aiming to reach the first target in as few strokes as possible.

Use different mallets or striking angles depending on distance, slope, or obstacles between shots.

Count every stroke a player takes to reach each target, including any that miss or overshoot.

Move to the next target once the current one is reached, playing all targets in order.

The player with the fewest total strokes across the whole course wins.
