What our experts think
Our testers liked the simplicity of the game. Really easy to pick up and start playing, and with quick rounds, those with short attention spans were kept engaged. Play Nine is golf themed but this has no bearing on the game so it’s accessible to both golf and non golf players. The children played a round or two to work out the rules and were soon playing strategically.
Helpful for practising maths skills as players are required to add up their scores and subtract any of the hole-in-one cards they collect. Also good for teaching children about healthy competition while having lots of fun, and guaranteed to keep the whole family entertained.
