History Maker Golf is a board game released in 2017 for 1–4 players, 15–180 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Keith Avallone and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Simulation.
Description from the publisher: Despite what appear to be very simple golfer keywords, HMG realistically captures the real-life abilities of real pro golfers. The top golfers will dominate your tourney events. The big hitters will time and again launch monster shots that put them in position to break par. The "golden" putters make the clutch putts that others miss. Those who have demonstrated their prowess out of the bunker or rough will have you nodding in admiration as they do the same thing on your tabletop! And, just like in real golf, intangibles matter, too! Experience, mood, momentum—there are keywords for those, too, with both positive and negative ramifications. Every golfer gets his own unique, individual card, a compilation of all the keywords applicable to his game.
History Maker Golf supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for History Maker Golf is 15–180 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists History Maker Golf for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
History Maker Golf has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
