How to Play Palace Card Game?

Deal 3 face-down cards to each player as the palace

Deal 3 face-up cards on top of the face-down cards

Deal 3 cards to each player’s hand

Place the remaining cards as a draw pile

Turn the top card of the draw pile face up to start the discard pile

On your turn, play one or more cards of the same rank from your hand, your face-up cards, or your face-down cards

The card or cards played must be equal to or higher than the current top discard card, unless using a special card

After playing, draw back up to 3 cards in hand if needed

If you cannot play, pick up the entire discard pile into your hand

When your face-up cards are gone, play from your face-down cards blindly

Special cards usually include 2, 10, and 7

A 2 resets the pile and can be played on any card

A 10 clears the discard pile and lets the same player play again

A 7 lowers the required rank for the next player

Continue until a player gets rid of all cards from hand, face-up cards, and face-down cards

The first player to empty all cards wins
