Play the Palace Card Game

Palace (also known as Shithead) is a fun multi-player card game that requires skill and lots of luck to play. It is easy to pick up after just a few minutes play and is a great way to pass the time with friends or family.

Steps

Setup

  1. Three cards are dealt out by the dealer to each player and these card remain face down until the end of the game.
  2. An additional six cards are dealt to each player which can be viewed immediately.
  3. Each player chooses three of the cards in their hand to lay face up on top of their three face down cards.
  4. Once everyone is ready the remainder of the deck is placed in the middle and the player to the left of the dealer starts the game

Rules

  1. For every turn a player must play a card face up to the middle of the table. Each player must have at least 3 cards in their hand at all times during the game. If you don't have 3 cards in your hand you have to pick one up from the face down deck.
  2. During a turn the card you play must beat the previous card played by the person before you. The order of the cards from least to greatest goes 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, Jack, Queen, King, Ace. You are allowed to play multiple of the same card as long as it beats the previous card and if all four of a card are played consecutively then the whole pile is burned. If you cannot beat the current card then you can either pick up the pile or take a chance by seeing if the top card in the deck beats the current card. If it doesn't then you have to take the pile as well as that top card.
  3. Two's and Ten's are special cards in the game where Two's are reset cards and Ten's are clear cards. If you play a two card you can then play another card in your hand (reset). If you play a ten card then all the cards in the pile are put into the burn pile never to be seen again until the game is over of course. Then you get to play another card of your choice. Also, if you place down a seven, you can chose to go up or down. (clear)
  4. Once the deck is depleted and you are out of cards in your hand you then start playing from the 3 face up cards in front of you. Then once those cards are gone you then have to pick randomly one at a time from the 3 face down cards.
  5. If you get rid of all your cards then you win!

Tips

  • Use 2's and 10's wisely
  • In the setup choose your highest cards to place face up
  • Always get rid of lower cards first.
  • Try to get rid of multiple cards.
