How To Play Palace

[@LoriSimpsonVideos]

Thanks for the nice clear instructions on your videos this is one of my favorite KZbin channels and my top pick to learn games from. I just learned how to play Palace today from my speech therapist, as I am in a nursing home and game playing is used in many therapies. I liked it and am glad to have a "copy of the rules to save" through this video. You have taught me several games from scratch though, and I'm honestly grateful for it all.

[@GatherTogetherGames]

Glad to help! 😃

Such a fun game to play with friends... I played when I was younger and I really miss it

[@Jaydoggy531]

I love games that are visually exciting on the table, and this is definitely one of those games. A lot going on in front of you to consider/strategize.

[@stevekelshaw]

You always make really clear instructions which have allowed me to learn lots of new games. Thank you.

[@MrGrimlocke]

I used to play this with my friends every day in 9th grade. But now I’ve forgotten all of the rules lol

[@nicholaswhorley8343]

Thanks for the video. The description on the Bicycle Playing Cards website is hard to follow by just reading it.

[@BrianOliver73]

Near the end, when Player 3 played blindly, they first beat the discard and the next turn blindly played a 10 and wiped the deck allowing their final card to be played. You never show what happens if the blind card played doesn’t beat discard.

[@Kors_Cookie]

in that situation, if the flipped over doesn’t beat, then the discard pile would then have to be pick up by the player.

[@aqilhail9063]

Such a lovely time when you upload a video. I would suggest you do a tutorial on Devil's Grip.

[@GatherTogetherGames]

Devil’s Grip has been added to the requested game list!

[@Michael-bd4kv]

hmm i played it a little differently with the special cards. 2's make the next person pick up the pile, 7's mirror whatever the card is on top of the pile, 10's remove the pile and a new pile begins, and if u have 4 of the same value cards, it acts like a 10 is played. It's pretty fun this way, especially when u play a 2 lol

[@blue_ranger]

That's similar to the [excuse the term] Sh!thead version, which is quite good, despite the vulgar name. I bought one, and watched this video to see what, if any differences. In that deck, cards are 1-10, with the specials having icons printed on, (Burn, reset, mirror) the 2s have no consequence, but playing a 4 means the next player must play 4 or lower, if they do, the next player plays as normal, 6s make the next player miss a turn and 8s switch the direction of play. Great game though. Became an instant favourite in our house.

[@crnoman9408]

can someone help me what if my blind cards doesn't match or beat the discard pile card?

[@wn2958]

Then, you must take the whole discard pile

[@lilfresnoent.1338]

how if u got 4 cards in your hand // please help me

[@yohannakabirat1821]

This video originally taught me how to play palace a while back but I forgot the rules. But I knew I can rely on this video to remind me. I recommend gathertogethergames to any card tutorial

[@sumitarora3613]

Very well explained - covered most of the scenarios. Question: If I have multiple 2s in my hand, can I play multiple times during my turn, Example: If I have two 2's in my hand, then can I play a 2 followed by a set of 3s, then a 2 again and followed by a set of 4s, before play moves to the next player.

[@Neutr0n624]

No, in your example, the set of 3s would be the last thing you play. There's nothing about a set of 3s that means you get to play another card

[@sumitarora3613]

[@gavincaldwell6479]

I play this game with my gf, and this game works great 1 on 1... and we play with a lot of different variations too

[@HallwayMusic91]

I’m not sure if this question was already answered but if a player can’t make a move and collects from the discard pile, can the next player play any card or does it go to the last card that was played?

[@PolskiOlympia]

What if i have 2 tens must i place them both or separat

[@blueskyredkite]

If you have multiple cards of the same value you *may* play them together, or you may not. Your choice.

[@SCMessage]

What can you play on an ace? Just an ace, 10 or 2? Else you have to pick discard like up?

[@danielyuan9862]

Sure, but if you want to give your opponent cards then you would rather give them more cards first.

[@BwantleyBoo]

When you use a 2 or 10 to reset the count, do you grab the already flipped cards and put them back into the deck to be drawn again? Or do you take them out of the game? Or do you leave them there. It seems like if you leave them there, the stack will be huge and by the end of the game , if you don’t have a card and you have to grab the cards in the middle , you will basically have an entire deck to deal with.

[@GatherTogetherGames]

The 2 resets the count and the cards stay in the middle. The 10 clears the cards out of the game and a new pile is started.

[@DangustheChunk]

@@GatherTogetherGames but what is the difference there in terms of play

[@float32]

@@DangustheChunk2 leaves the cards in the discard pile. You just need to place a card 3 or higher next time. So, someone will eventually end up with the cards still under the 2. 10 means they’re removed from the game completely.

[@earthling-ad]

We play a variant of this that we call 'sh!thead' that has more power cards. 7 makes the next player have to play a 7 or lower, 3 is see-through so the next player has to beat the card below it, and jokers are also see-through and reverse the order of play. We don't play that you get to play another card after resetting the deck with a 2.

[@hozonov7995]

When discarding face down cards, it doesn't matter if the discarded card is lower than the top of the pile?

[@GatherTogetherGames]

A discarded card must be higher than the top of the pile. If a face down card isn't higher than the top of the pile, the player will take the discard pile. The cards in the discard pile then have to be played before return to your face down cards.

[@hozonov7995]

@@GatherTogetherGames Oh I see. Thanks. Having a lot of fun with your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@MrYancakes]

Rules I was taught: if a 7 is played (it cannot be played on a card with a higher value) the next player must play a card with a lower value than 7- it's a strictly worse 2. You can pick a card, 8 usually seems to be the main choice, to reverse turn order. This game can get going really fast, though, so honeslty fewer rules are better. That being said, I fully endorse the next player not being able to play until the previous players has drawn and decided what to do with their card.

[@opssheesh]

If I play two 2s, does this mean I get to play any two different rank cards or only one?

[@PseudonymLoLoL]

Could you do Contract Rummy, Doppelkopf, Liverpool Rummy, Manipulation Rummy, Yaniv/Jhyap/Dhumbal or 7-Card Stud Poker? Or all of them? Ok, maybe not *all* of them.

[@ConnPatMan009]

What happens if you play a face down card and it is less than the rank of the discard pile?

[@GatherTogetherGames]

You have to take the discard pile as your hand. You will then have to play those cards before returning to your face down cards.

[@darkmatter3538]

GatherTogetherGames thank you, I was confused on that too.

[@reaceianroeloffze8759]

What happens if a face-down card that is played blindly doesn't match the rank of face-up or is higher? Does the player take the pile? Because according to my observation the video that is what happened.

[@GatherTogetherGames]

Yes, the player will take the pile.

[@reaceianroeloffze8759]

@@GatherTogetherGames Thank you. I had a feeling. I played this game for the first time tonight. It was really fun! I love playing card games. I'm looking forward to more 1-player games. I've watched a few of them already.

[@Sunnie26]

What do you do when you’re playing the face down cards “blind”? What if it isn’t the same or higher rank?

[@goofygoober5243]

I always learned it as 3 blind dealt then 7 in your hand you place 3 cards on the blind cards. also, we always called it lucky bastard don't know why but we did

[@bobbyswann3753]

What happens if it’s an ace and the opponent has to go?

[@jitendragoyal9548]

Amazing

[@corygeorge502]

Why are all of the examples only with power cards. The two and the ten. It makes it confusing to follow when playing with non power cards which is a majority of the game!

[@TheAjRae]

With non power cards just “meet, or beat” aka an 8, you Meet it with another 8, to beat you must play something higher than an 8 aka 9, jack, queen, king (or one of the power cards: 10, ace, 2, 3, 7) You cannot play if you only have cards 4,5,6 (because they are lower than 8) and you’ll have to pick up the 8 and any cards underneath the 8.

[@nickalvarez3779]

Does anyone play Alvarez rules?

[@reaceianroeloffze8759]

What happens when multiple players have the same lowest ranking card? Do we simply choose who plays first or are the set rules for how that works?

[@blueskyredkite]

Goes clockwise from the dealer. First player with a three (or whichever is the lowest card available) is the first player.

[@Lowdermoomoo]

The way we played was that the winner would the the first one without cards, and we didn’t do the 4 of a kind I think but the last time I played was 10 years ago when I was in high school 🤣

Interesting. When I was taught, 2s function like the 10s do here while 3s function as a “skip turn” card instead of a reset.

[@meletevunga6232]

We usually call it 3 up 3 down or graveyard

[@sergionj93]

Am I the only one who’s gonna ask this? I agree with these rules EXCEPT 1- playing out of turn to complete 4 of a kind...I’ve always played respecting the turn of the player in the direction we chose from the beginning. Clockwise or counterclockwise 2- why didn’t you mention the option of playing with 7 high or low? Some people play with 7 as a reg number, some people play 7 high or low

[@kaunainkausar]

could you make it easy it looks so hard

[@AyrtonTwigg]

Seems kinda boring to just keep playing until the cards run out, only then for there to be a chance of winning.

[@CamerondeGrey]

Any player can complete a four of a kind? Thats kinda chaotic

Yes, very similar to the game I know as idiot. Only in idiot a 2 means the next player picks up 2 from the stock pile - or plays a 2 and the next player must pick up 4 (etc).
