[edit] How to Play

[edit] Setting Up

Shuffle a deck of standard playing cards. Deal three cards face down to each of the players. Do not allow the players to look at these cards. Set the three cards up beside one another.
Then deal them each six cards face down. They should look at these.
Each person should place three of these cards face up on top of the three that face down. (See Cards for an idea.)
Place the remaining stack in the middle.
The person with the lowest card starts.

[edit] Cards

3 is the lowest card, and Ace is the highest. 2's and 10's are trick cards:

2's freeze the pile in the middle. When a person plays a two, take the pile out of the middle.
10's are wilds. After playing the ten, the player should play another card.

Suit means nothing.

[edit] Strategy

[edit] Tip 1

This is the beauty of Palase. You can easily win. Say for example, at the beginning, my 6 cards are these:

3 6 J 2 10 A

I want to keep the three, so that leaves me with a six, a jack, a two, a ten, and an Ace.

I would place my two

[edit] Tip 2

Doubles skip. Say for example, the person before me plays a 6, then I play a 6, the person after me is skipped. This does not have to be consecutive. The person across from me could play another six, and skip the person before me.

You can use this to skip someone if they are about to play their last card.
