🃏 Palace: The Classic Card Game Reimagined

Also Known As: Shed | Karma | "OG"

"The game that ruled the high school cafeteria in the '90s — now reborn for a new generation."

🎮 Welcome to Palace: A Modern Take on a Legendary Classic

Originally a staple in high school cafeterias and backpacker campsites around the world, Palace (or Shed, Karma, or affectionately known as "OG") has returned — upgraded, expanded, and ready for players everywhere.

Whether you're challenging eight distinct AI opponents with unique personalities or going head-to-head with friends in live multiplayer mode, Palace delivers fast-paced, brain-busting fun with a nostalgic heart.

🌟 New Features (Version 3.1.6 – August 7, 2024)

• ✅ Pickup Pile Anytime Option – Flex your strategy: draw the pile whenever you choose, not just when stuck.
• ✅ "7 Forces Lower" Rule Variant – Add a twist: play a 7 to force the next player to play a lower card. Chaos guaranteed.
• ✅ Multiplayer Madness – Play live against friends via mobile or online. Real-time banter, real-time banter.
• ✅ 8 Unique AI Opponents – Each with their own personality: aggressive, cautious, sneaky, and more.
• ✅ Latest SDK Updates – Optimized for performance, stability, and seamless gameplay across devices.

🃏 How to Play: The Classic Rules, Revisited

🧩 Setup

• Each player is dealt 3 face-down cards (hidden from view).
• 3 face-up cards are placed in the center (visible to all).
• Each player receives 3 cards to their hand.
• Optional Swap: You may exchange any number of hand cards with the face-up cards — but only once per game.

🎯 Starting Player: The player holding a 3 (or the lowest-value card) begins. If no 3s, the lowest available card starts.

🔄 Gameplay Flow

• Players take turns playing equal or higher-value cards (singles, pairs, or triples).
• You can play:
  • Singles (e.g., 5)
  • Pairs (e.g., 7-7)
  • Triples or 4-of-a-kind
• Special Cards:
  • 2s – Wild cards. Play any 2 to reset the pile to zero.
  • 10s – Clear the entire pile. Any player can play a 10 to wipe the stack.
  • 4-of-a-kind – Also clears the pile (like a 10).
• If you can’t play, you must draw from the draw pile until you have at least 3 cards.
• Draw Pile: Always replenish your hand to at least 3 cards.

🏁 Win Condition: The Ultimate Goal

Be the first player to empty your hand — but you must follow the card order:

1. Play all hand cards first
2. Then play your face-up cards
3. Finally, play your hidden face-down cards

⚠️ You can’t reveal or play face-down cards until your hand and face-up cards are gone.

🌍 Why Palace Lives On

• Simple to learn, hard to master
• A global favorite among travelers, students, and casual gamers
• A nostalgic throwback with a modern edge
• Perfect for quick matches or long, competitive sessions

🎯 Also Known As:
