What is Wolf?
Wolf is one of the most enjoyable games for three or four players. A wolf is appointed on every hole, and the wolf decides how the hole will be played. Team up with a partner, or take on everyone else alone? That tactical choice, hole after hole, is what makes Wolf so addictive.
How to play Wolf
- The wolf role rotates, a new wolf every hole.
- Players tee off in turn. The wolf goes last.
- After each tee shot the wolf can choose that player as a partner, but must decide immediately, before the next player hits.
- If the wolf chooses nobody, they play Lone Wolf, alone against everyone else.
- If the wolf wants a real gamble, they can call Blind Wolf before even hitting their own tee shot.
How the units are counted
Each hole is settled on the teams' best ball. If the wolf's side wins, everyone on that side gets a unit. If the wolf plays alone and wins it is worth double, two units. A Blind Wolf that comes off is worth three. If the wolf loses, the units go to the opposing side instead.
On the closing holes the rotation changes character: whoever is furthest behind becomes the wolf, so a player who has fallen back gets a chance to make it up with a bold Lone or Blind Wolf. Wager Golf handles the rotation, the underdog rule and the units for you, so you can concentrate on the tactics.
