Application Description

Palace: A Free Classic Card Game (Also Known as Shed, Karma, or "OG")

Palace reigned supreme as the go-to card game in my high school's study halls and cafeteria during the 90s. Wikipedia confirms its enduring popularity, particularly among backpackers, contributing to its widespread appeal.

Gameplay Mechanics:

Each player receives three face-down cards (hidden until the game's end), three face-up cards, and three cards for their hand. Optional card swapping between your hand and face-up cards is permitted.

The player holding a 3, or the next lowest card, initiates the game. On your turn, discard one or more cards of equal or higher value than the top card of the discard pile. Then, draw cards to maintain at least three cards in your hand (unless the deck is empty or you already have three or more).

Twos and tens function as wild cards: twos reset the discard pile, tens clear it, and four-of-a-kind cards also clear the pile.

If you lack a playable card (equal to or greater than the top card or a wild card), you must pick up the entire discard pile.

Once your hand is empty and the deck is depleted, play your face-up cards, followed by your face-down cards. The first player to exhaust all their cards wins.

Palace is also known by alternative names: Shed, Karma, and "OG."
