Joker Palace FAQ

Quick answers about Joker Palace — a modern online Palace (Shithead) card game with multiplayer, private rooms, and a ranked ladder.

What is Joker Palace?

Joker Palace is a free-to-play mobile Palace card game app (also known as Shithead, Karma, or Castle). It’s a fast-paced card-shedding game where you race to empty your hand, table cards, and face-down cards.

Is Palace the same as Shithead / Karma / Castle?

They’re closely related names for the same classic ruleset. Different groups use different names, and Joker Palace is inspired by that Palace/Shithead style — with redesigned mechanics and Chaos Joker Effects.

How do you play Joker Palace?

The goal is to get rid of all your cards. You play from your hand first (drawing up while the deck exists), then your face-up table cards, and finally your face-down cards. If you can’t play a valid card, you pick up the pile.

Does Joker Palace have ranked matchmaking?

Yes. Competitive matches use a ranked ladder system so you can climb tiers by consistently outplaying other players.

What are Chaos Joker Effects?

Chaos Joker Effects are random global rule modifiers that can trigger mid-match — like restricting to odds or evens, switching to high cards only, reversing rank order, or shortening the turn timer.

Is Joker Palace free on iOS and Android?
