Description

Palace is a fast-paced and simple card game that's perfect for a quick gathering with friends. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can easily fit in a few rounds with 2 to 6 players. The rules are easy to learn, so you can dive right in and start playing without a lot of setup or explanation. The goal of the game is to avoid being the last player to get rid of your cards - it's not about being the first to win, but rather about not being the last loser. As you take turns playing cards onto a central pile, you'll need to use your hand management skills to strategize and try to get rid of your cards before your opponents do. With aces high and twos and tens acting as trump cards, there's a bit of luck involved, but it's mostly about making smart plays and trying to outmaneuver the other players. The loser of each round has to deal the next game, so there's a fun element of revenge and comeuppance built in. Overall, Palace is a fun and social game that's great for a casual game night or a quick break with friends.
