### 3/5 — Finally Palace on the go, does need little fix’s here and there..

*2026-04-01, version 3.1.7*

Great game overall but needs improvement here and there, computer tends to glitch an go twice (i had the computer place a 7 and before i went it placed a 3 right after and since that was the computers last card, it won..) It sucks it happens towards the end of the game but since there’s no $ envolver, not a big deal but apart from that the game is spot on to the real rules.

### 3/5 — No tie

*2025-07-14, version 3.1.6*

Game doesn’t end when all options are gone and you are trading the same cards over and over

### 2/5 — Please fix it

*2025-07-01, version 3.1.6*

The game glitches as it doesn’t recognize you can play the 7 (when the lower than 7 is enabled) when it is on the top of the face down cards and then it automatically makes you pick up when you wouldn’t of had to if it was in your hand.

### 2/5 — Glitches are frustrating

*2025-03-05*

I like this game but the frustrating part is it glitches consistently where the computer player will play back to back such as a J and a K and not give me a chance to play. You can click undo and replay it correctly. However the glitch sometimes happens at the end of the game and there is no opportunity to replay if the glitch occurs to end the game. Please fix this and then the app would get five stars for sure.

### 3/5 — Not bad, Could be better!

*2024-09-08*

Enjoyable. Few bugs that could use tweaking, like when playing the computer and they go twice in a row out of nowhere. ( im not talking about a wild card play)  also I’ve played this game in person with more than 2 players at a time if possible maybe update for higher player interaction. If it helps we usually play with additional decks.

### 4/5 — 3-5 players would be great

*2024-06-20*

Wish there was a way to invite at least 3 other friends to play together

### 3/5 — Want to play friends

*2024-05-30*

I tried playing my sister and the game would not let us play our turn correctly. We have both played the games by ourselves just fine. Please fix playing with friends.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2023-12-14*

The game is ok but there is little difference in the playing styles of the computer. From what I can tell, it just gives better cards to higher rated npc’s more often.

### 2/5 — Too buggy to play

*2023-11-26, version 3.1.5*

When the commercials pop up, it automatically ends the game. You cannot continue and must start over our quit.

### 2/5 — Computer cheats

*2023-08-10, version 3.1.5*

The computer cheats when it has lost multiple games in a row it'll play a low card like a 3 and a king on top of it in one play

### 2/5 — Time limit

*2023-06-08, version 3.1.5*

Games cool. But should not be a time limit. Hard to play multiplayer…….

### 3/5 — Cheating

*2023-01-28*

Probably the only palace game here . So have no choice to play but playing with characters Joshua I notice be cheating at times . His card switch without even picking up . I notice that’s the creator of this game . Once I beat him multiple time In a row he starts to cheat . Fix it or imma delete this app

### 3/5 — Good but kinda UNFAIR

*2022-12-30*

This game very very fun and is like a palace game! But the “how too play” does not even make sense to me. However this is a great game! But I have a question, why is the computer AI Bridget a little to hard? Isn’t she a easy level she should be EASY!

### 4/5 — Multiplayer

*2022-09-12, version 3.0.8*

Wish you can play with more than 2 people. It should be 2-5 players

### 2/5 — Buggy & Freezes during Playing

*2022-01-18*

I’m a Palace Card Player & I have to say- I love the card app but very buggy!!!!! The screen freezes, playing against the computer, it does not let you “Play on Double Cards”, you can only pickup when the computer tells you & honestly the computer cheats!!!

Would be a great app but the developer really needs to fix these BUGS.

### 4/5 — Gg

*2021-10-25, version 3.0.0*

Bridget got the knockers .good game just need to add the rules for the 7 ‘s and it needs to let you pick up the pile when you want .

### 3/5 — Doesn’t have correct rules

*2021-09-28*

I’ve always played/ read rules that play 7 as “reverse.” Even though it is a two player game, 7’s should beat all other cards and they do not.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t use it

*2025-09-07, version 3.1.7*

Cheaters. When you are winning they place a advertisement and then has the nerve to ask if you want to play again. I tried 5x! Horrible cheating app!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-04-04, version 3.1.6*

A real waste of time. Dreadful interaction. Immediate adverts.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-04, version 3.1.6*

Crashu and glitchy, terrible rules don’t download

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-03-11, version 3.1.5*

After every game there’s a video ad with a skip button that does nothing. Screen just stays on the ad.

### 1/5 — Update is garbage

*2022-02-25, version 3.0.5*

Opponent always has an ace and a wild card in the down hand.  Update was supposedly to randomize the deck better…. Yeah, that didn’t work.  Game is deleted.

### 1/5 — Not the best

*2021-06-22, version 2.0.2*

I love the game palace, it’s the best card game ever. But this game is ehh. the graphics aren’t that good, the game is slow and they should let you pick you top three cards from your hands instead of them giving it to you

### 1/5 — Cheap AI, Not Real Palace

*2020-11-26*

Why is it not “real” Palace? Because the AI has an unfair advantage. It can choose not to play it’s high cards, 2’s, or 10’s, and pick up the pile, where are the app forces you, the player, to make a more if say a 2 or 10 is on your hand. Where the computer can pick up and bait you, you’re forced to play, or you cannot move forward, which eliminates a huge part of strategy, and puts the player at a tremendous disadvantage against the higher-ranked AI players. Trust me, I’ve probably played over 400 rounds on this thing. I’m sick of it, though.

### 1/5 — Gameplay

*2020-06-24, version 2.0.2*

Inconsistent ratings. Slow play. Very predictable. Will always make you lose after 1-2.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2020-06-14, version 2.0.2*

Game is absolute crap, more cards appear than what’s in a deck especially 2s and 10s.
Seems very fixed when you get near to end of games would personally rather play with mates

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2020-03-08, version 2.0.2*

First time I’ve written a review, you win so rarely, the other team just so happens to always have the perfect card to one up you every. single. time. It’s amazing how that works honestly.

*2026-01-19*

I used to love this game and I still do and I only used to play it with someone really special to me because nobody else knew had the knowledge to play it

*2025-01-04*

Great game doesn’t have any problems so far I just wish I could have multiple bots or people in one game, like 4 maximum.

### 5/5 — Please

*2023-12-09, version 3.1.5*

Can you please update this app. This is the only Palace game on the app store and it has the potential to be amazing.

### 5/5 — Love Palace

*2023-02-15, version 3.0.8*

could use an update though

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2021-08-27*

Idc if Samantha op at least we got a palace game. So before you come here and COMPLAIN at least thank josh for his hard work. Literally the only person to bring us a palace game

### 5/5 — Fast moving and fun

*2020-08-29*

Have had no problems with any of the computer problems mentioned by other players.

### 5/5 — How to play...

*2020-01-31, version 2.0.2*

The original power cards are as follows, please update game to incorporate...

2 restart card.

3 most powerful, can be laid on any card, but only a 3, 10 or 4 of one card can be laid on top of a 3. So use wisely. 

7 you have to go lower. Or any power card on top or 7.

8 is the next person misses a go.if you have more than one 8 then each following player must miss a go in turn, ( you cannot miss a go on yourself say if you have and lay two 8s and only have 2 players playing your opponent will miss 2 goes consecutively ) four 8s will retain 4 missed turns and also clears the deck as standard.

10 clears the deck.

Ace is the lowest or the highest card but you have to announce which one before you lay the card down. "Hi" or "Low"

All of the above makes the game more interesting, strategic and lasts so much longer and gives everybody more chance of winning. 
The last loser gets a light tap to the fore head with the JOKER CARD ( and should stick to the fore head) from the winner signifying a 's#%t head' which is the original name for the game. The loser then deals the next round and all players can rejoin. The player to the dealers left turns over the 1st card from the deck to start the round then next to the left and so on.

Credit. to myself Mr J.M.C for the above.
