Play Palace Card Game Online Free
Work through your hand, your face-up cards, and three final surprises. Beat Mina to an empty palace in this free two-player shedding game.
Palace is a shedding card game also known as Karma, Castle, or Shed. Players empty their hand first, then face-up table cards, then face-down table cards.
How to Play Palace
Play a card equal to or higher than the top card of the pile. Twos reset the pile and can be played on anything. Clicking a hand or face-up card plays all available cards of that rank together. Tens clear the pile. If you cannot play, pick up the pile.
Before play, select a hand card and a face-up palace card to swap them, then press Ready. You take the first turn in this two-player version. Aces are high. After playing, draw back to three hand cards while the stock lasts.
A ten or four equal ranks in a row burns the pile and gives the same player another turn. Once the stock and your hand are empty, play your face-up cards. Keep the final cards hidden and choose one blindly: if it cannot beat the pile, take it and the pile into your hand.
How to Win
Win by shedding every card from your hand, face-up palace, and hidden palace before the computer.
