BIRDIE FAQs
+1d6 vs +1d
+1d6 means only 6-sided dice may be added. This applies to many characters and Karma Cards. Sawyer the Streak, Monocle Mack, Putta Parker, et al
+1d means either 6, 10 or 20-sided dice may be added.
Determination Rolls, do I need to spend a chip to roll the 1d20?
No. In all cases but the Determination Rolls, you need to roll 1d20, but Determination Rolls are not actual play, they are resolutions of play, 1d20 and NO CHIP can be nor should be used.
Disc Golf knowledge, do I need any?
To play and enjoy the game, no. To get some of the inside jokes and perhaps have some of the strategy be intuitive, cursory knowledge of the sport will help.
Duration of ALL Tee Shots Karma Cards / How long do they last?
Karma Cards that say ALL Tee Shots apply only to the tee shots taken on the hole on which the card is played. Most ALL Tee Shots cards can be played before any tee shot and they will apply to that tee shot and all tee shots after that tee shot.
Go For It / Safe Shot chips, can I use them anytime?
You can use them anytime. You can use only one per shot. You only get three per round, whether that is 9 or 18 holes.
Going Pro / Advantages and disadvantages?
The disadvantages to going pro are that you lose a warm-up round, but as each player picks last at least once, there is usually going to be a round when going pro is advantageous because you gain skills and maybe Distance and/or Karma as well.
Karma Card reset / Original number of cards? Or starting number of cards?
After every three holes, each player discards all but one card left in their hand and receives the number of Karma cards that is written down on the score pad (original number plus cards earned in the warmup round).
Putting out and scoring circles. Why do I have to putt out?
For speed of play, once you reach the green, go ahead and putt out. After you putt out, move your disc to the scoring circles to indicate (and help you remember) the score you got on the hole.
Limit to the number of Karma Cards that can be played?
There is no limit. As long as they are played at the appropriate time, they can be played.
Multiple players on a space, who goes next?
For speed of play, the top person on the disc stack goes next. There is a good chance that they are holding the dice and we just let them keep on going.
Ray Ray Rain, +2d?
+2d means that they can add two dice (2d6, 2d10 or 2d20) to shots in spaces of those colors.
Skill Chip reset / After 9 holes, do I lose unused Skill Chips?
No. Skill Chips are not reset, Skill Chips are added. Specifically, the numbers on your player card are added to what you have left after nine holes.
