About Palace
Palace was the most popular study hall / cafeteria card game in my high school growing up in the 90's. According to Wikipedia it's also popular amongst backpackers, and as a result is widespread.
Play against real people online with multi-player support or eight different computer characters, each with slightly different playing styles.
Updates:
* Added multiplayer support
* Changed added second row when your hand contains a lot of cards to make it easier to see and click on your cards
* Fixed bugs
Basic Rules:
Each player is dealt 3 'face down cards'. You are not allowed to see or change these until the end of the game. Next, 3 'face up cards' are placed on top. Finally, each player is dealt 3 cards to form their hand. If you wish, you can switch cards from your 'hand' with your 'face up cards'.";
Whoever has a 3 or the next lowest card starts the game.
Each turn you must discard a card (or two or more cards of the same) greater than or equal to the one at the top of the pick up pile, then draw cards from the deck so you have at least 3 cards in your hand (unless the deck has run out of cards or you already have 3 or more cards in you hand).
2's and 10's are wild cards. 2's resets the pile and 10's clear the pile. 4 of a kind, like a 10, clears the pile.
If don't have a card that is greater than or equal to the card on top of the pile or a wild card, you must pick up the entire pile.
When there are no more cards in your hand, and the deck is empty, proceed to play your face up cards. Once all of the face up cards have been played, play the face down cards.
If you are the first to get rid of all your cards you win.
Palace is sometimes also known as Shithead, Shed, Karma or "OG"

I find it oddly suspicious how I can beat everyone else in the game except for Joshua and I'm guessing that the person who made this is named Joshua because it's from Josh'sgames. Just sayin'. Let me know.

This isn't dag. At least not how we play it in Oregon. We call it dag I can't find it under that name. Less than 9 on 9s... 8 skips and u have to beat it. 10 only clears if its lesser value. 2s beat anything and 4 of a kinda blow up the pile only of its beating the card at play. Also you can throw down matching cards as you draw them if you're fast enough in my rules.

Love it...o well two becUse sometimes the controls move too quickly and the next player puts cards down before I could play two of a kind ne small thing, I always thought seven meant the next cards would be lower than seven

Hard time selecting multiple cards. Sometimes you can click on two, sometimes the second click just places the one card, which drives me nuts. Other than that, love it!

Can't play multiple cards at turn, 7 card not a special card, takes to long to get a match in multiplayer. Needs a lot of work.

Extremely difficult to select multiple cards to put down. Have 4 of a kind? Good luck clearing the board.

The game often only plays one card when the player chooses multiple cards. It happens often enough to frequently effect the outcome of the game.

Unfortunately probably the best rendition of palace available, but if you're trying to select multiple cards it's a crapshoot whether you select them or accidentally play them before selecting all like cards. Would be remedied by only playing cards when you click the discard pile. Maybe it's different with a stylus or different devices, idk. Also, in the variation I learned to play on you can pick up the pile of cards whenever you choose, which makes the game more strategic.

There are much better versions of this game available. The graphics are amateur and basic looking. The game doesn't respond the way it should, when trying to select multiple cards, it instead plays the first one selected. Even for a free app, don't waste your time.

U guys forgot about seven, if you place down a seven, you can chose to go up or down.

I've never played the seven rule you guys talk about. I've always played exactly like this. PROTIP: RAPIDLY tapping the cards as the play them may result in a "for clears the board" rule.

What if you put in the option to play with friends on Facebook and social media? Also I've always played a 7 and it goes lower. And an 8 is invisible.. It be 100% better that way.
