Albatross18 is a casual online multiplayer golf game. Players can play in family mode (up to 4 players on one computer), versus mode (2 to 4 players on-line with all players watching the action as each person takes each shot) or tournament mode (where up to 30 people can compete on-line for trophies where each player's view of the game is largely focused just on their own round, resulting in a quicker gaming experience).

Players earn in-game money (pang) through good gameplay and shots, which can subsequently be used to buy various items (new clubs, golfballs, or even one-off items to affect a single shot), clothing (which are primarily present to increase player statistics), or even entirely new characters and caddies, each of which again have differing statistics (Power, Control, Accuracy, Spin and Curve).

Completely free to download and play, players can however opt to pay real world money (which translates to in game 'cookies') which can then be used to buy items and equipment that cannot be purchased in any other way.

With content updated every week (including new items, courses, clothing, or even seasonal promotional events), the different servers in the various territories are invariably noticeably different in exact content.
