Rules and scoring defaults

Palace (Bicycle)

Your goal

  • Be the first to get rid of all your cards: the ones in your hand, the face-up cards on the table, and finally the face-down cards.

Before playing

  • Choose 3 of your 6 hand cards and tap “Place three face up”. These stay on the table for later. Your 3 face-down cards stay hidden, even from you. Everyone must choose before play starts.

On your turn

  • Play a card equal to or higher than the top card of the pile. Ace is highest. Special cards can change this rule (see below). On an empty pile, any card works.
  • Tap a card, or several cards with the same number or letter, then tap “Play selected”. If none of your available cards can be played, tap “Pick up pile”. Taking the pile ends your turn.
  • While the draw pile has cards, your hand automatically refills to 3 after a play. Once it is empty, finish your hand, then use your face-up cards, then your face-down cards.
  • Tap “Reveal blind card” to try a face-down card. If it cannot be played, you take it and the whole pile into your hand. Finish those hand cards before trying another face-down card.

Special cards in this game

  • 2: Play it on anything. The next player can play any card on it.
  • 10: Play it on anything to remove the entire pile from the game. You play again on an empty pile.
  • Four matching cards in a row at the top of the pile remove the pile from the game. The next player starts a new pile, unless a 10 gives you another turn.

Scoring and finishing

  • The first player with no cards left wins the deal and scores 1 point. The deal stops then; the others score 0. The host can tap “Play again” for a new deal.
