# What card game is this? 4 cards per player faced down

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-01-07)

When I visited Bulgaria, someone taught me a game, he called “kabum” ( not sure if that's how you write it).

* 2 or more players.
* each player receives 4 cards faced down and need to arrange them in a formation to last till the end of the game ( side by side...). Everyone can only look at 1 of their cards and then return it to the same position.

Each card has a value (A=0, 2=2...,J=-1,Q=12,K=1) and the objective of the game is to finish with the minimum amount of points. When you have 5 points or less you can say Kabum to start the last round.

* When you buy a card you can either discard or substitute it with one of your own, placing it in the same position, that way you can start knowing your cards.
* Some cards have some powers when you discard:

  + Cards with 7: You can look at one of your cards
  + Cards with 8: Look at one of your opponents cards
  + Cards with 9: Exchange cards with someone without looking
  + Cards with 10: Look at one card and change it

I believe these rules must vary.

But that the game:

* Less points
* Same position always faced down
* Change cards

There are more rules but I believe this is enough to someone that knows the game to identify it.

Sound like a variant of the card game Golf, which has you using 6 cards to do about the same thing. Everything else seem to line up.
