Palase (game)
Palase is a card game derived from the Danish (card game).
How to Play
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.
Cards
3 is the lowest card, and Ace is the highest. 2's, 9's, and 10's are trick cards:
- When a 2 is played, another card can be played from your hand afterwards
- 10s clear the pile. A new pile is started
- (optional) When a nine is played the other player must play under a nine
Suit means nothing.
Variations
Variation 1
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.
