Thanks for the nice clear instructions on your videos this is one of my favorite YouTube 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.

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

[Jaydoggy]

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.

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

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

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

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.

please help me

[crnoman]

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

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

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

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.

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

[HallwayMusic]

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?

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.

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

[gavincaldwell]

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

[hozonov]

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

[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.
