A challenging adventure game to lead a treasure hunt on Oak Island.

Oak Island is a 140-acre island on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. For hundreds of years, people have been searching for long-lost treasure believed to be hidden there. Many searchers have died trying to find the treasure, leading many to believe that the island and its treasure are cursed.
In this challenging adventure game, you will lead the next treasure hunting party. To succeed where so many before have failed, you will need to employ your own strategies to uncover the island’s secrets, and if successful, discover astounding treasures.

You will have a limited amount of time, money and crew members to complete your search. You must be wise with how you spend your resources to maximize your chances of finding treasure, while avoiding the many pitfalls that have thwarted previous searchers.

Search Methods:

Metal Detector – choose one lot per day and search for metal objects buried just below the surface
Bulldozer – bulldoze one lot per day, unearth objects buried up to 10 feet deep
Excavator – choose an area to excavate and dig up to 30 feet deep
Core Sample Drilling Rig – choose a point and drill to extract core samples revealing potential finds up to 200 feet underground
Boreholes – when you’re ready for a big dig, use a crane and oscillator to bore steel caissons deep into the earth
Drain The Swamp – pump the water out of the swamp to enable metal detecting and excavating

Avoid Hazards:
Beware of potential hazards that could endanger your crew such as inclement weather, accidents, floods, poison gases, or cave-ins.

Budget:
You will have a limited budget to fund search activities. Be strategic in your search methods and conservative with your spending.

Time Management:
You have very limited time on the island to conduct your exploration. Manage your time wisely and make the most of every opportunity.

Palace was the most popular study hall / cafeteria card game in my high school growing up in the 90’s. According to Wikipedia it’s also popular amongst backpackers, and as a result is widespread.

Play against real people online with multi-player support or eight different computer characters, each with slightly different playing styles.

Updates:

* Added multiplayer support
* Changed added second row when your hand contains a lot of cards to make it easier to see and click on your cards
* Fixed bugs

Basic Rules:

Each player is dealt 3 ‘face down cards’. You are not allowed to see or change these until the end of the game. Next, 3 ‘face up cards’ are placed on top. Finally, each player is dealt 3 cards to form their hand. If you wish, you can switch cards from your ‘hand’ with your ‘face up cards’.”;

Whoever has a 3 or the next lowest card starts the game.

Each turn you must discard a card (or two or more cards of the same) greater than or equal to the one at the top of the pick up pile, then draw cards from the deck so you have at least 3 cards in your hand (unless the deck has run out of cards or you already have 3 or more cards in you hand).

2’s and 10’s are wild cards. 2’s resets the pile and 10’s clear the pile. 4 of a kind, like a 10, clears the pile.

If don’t have a card that is greater than or equal to the card on top of the pile or a wild card, you must pick up the entire pile.

When there are no more cards in your hand, and the deck is empty, proceed to play your face up cards. Once all of the face up cards have been played, play the face down cards.

If you are the first to get rid of all your cards you win.

Palace is sometimes also known as Shithead, Shed, Karma or “OG”
