It's a multi-player game,Basically like match play..you win the hole you win a 'skin' if 2 players tie the hole all 'skins' are carried over,so the next hole is worth 2 'skins' etc..The good thing is if you make a mess of a hole all is not lost,if 2 players tie,you can win the next hole & win 2 'skins' or you can have a terrible 1st 8 holes,win the last & walk away with 9 'skins' enjoy..Andy..
