Get Palace of Cards for PC

Palace of Cards is an online platform for playing six card games: Rummy, Solitaire, Mau-Mau (Crazy 8s), Skat, Sheepshead and Doppelkopf. Each game has its own community and ranking systems. You can play with or against friends, meet other players, join clubs and compete in club or solo leagues. Customizable rules let you adjust how each game is played.

Card games

• Rummy: Match groups of cards and be the first to play all your cards in melds. Turns are relaxed, and private tables can use rules such as “Knocking”, “No Jokers” and “Cyclic Laying”.
• Solitaire: Each player receives the same set of cards, and the winner solves it most efficiently. Optional rules include “Turn Three”, “Relaxed” (with all cards revealed) and “Jokers”; you can also play the Easthaven variant.
• Mau-Mau (Crazy 8s): Play cards against opponents, with rules that can include “Jack on Jack”, “Idiot Mau-Mau”, “Nines Switch Direction” and “Extra turn on Ace”.
• Skat: Play by the international Skat tournament ruleset or try variants such as “Contra and Re” and “Ramsch”. The game supports replays for reviewing games.
• Sheepshead: Play with a Bavarian or Franconian card deck, which differ from regular card decks. The game also includes sayings associated with the tradition.
• Doppelkopf: Four players compete in teams of two, though the teams are unknown at the start of each round. Each card appears twice, and the players holding the queens of clubs are partners. The partnership becomes clear when the first queen of clubs is played, after which players can signal to each other through their cards.

Clubs and competition

You can join clubs to discuss the games and compete in a club league, or play in solo leagues. Tournaments offer another way to compete, while statistics track your play and provide insights to help you improve. The game also includes live awards for top players, tutorials and help for getting started, and private tables for playing with friends.
