Christmas Tournament 2021 at the Palace

Dear friends of the Palace,

Here comes our 2021 tournament finale: On Sunday, December 19, 2021, the official Palace of Cards Christmas Tournament is on at 8:30 pm CET. Come with jingling bells or red reindeer noses and seize exclusive prizes!

Participating Games

The Christmas Tournament will take place in all games of the Palace with the following configurations:

Skat	3 players per table
Rummy	4 players per table
Doppelkopf	4 players per table
Sheepshead	4 players per table
Canasta	4 players per table
Mau-Mau	4 players per table
Solitaire	4 players per table
Pinochle	4 players per table
Spider	4 players per table

Depending on the game, 200 to 450 players can play per group in every game. When that number of players is exceeded, the next group opens automatically. This way, everyone can partake – for a bet of merely one Chip! Of course, you will face tenacious opponents. But if you come out on top, glory and exclusive prizes await you.

Great Prizes

There will be exclusive Palace of Cards certificates, numerous Premium days, and a jackpot with up to 10,000 Chips. We lovingly design the certificates exclusively for this occasion! All winners of the places one to three receive one as a PDF:

There is the possibility of several players coming in at the same place per game. This can come up due to several play groups per tournament on the one hand and due to players reaching a draw in the same group on the other.

Here is an example: If 540 players registered for Sheepshead, we would split the tournament into three groups with a maximum of 200 players each. As a result, there would be three first places, three second places, and three third places.

Each play group has its separate jackpot. We will note in your certificate in which play group you were successful. The Chips and the Premium days will be split among the winners per group. Usually, the first place receives 70% of the Chips in the pot and 90 Premium days, the second place 20% and 60 Premium days, and the third place 10% and 30 Premium days.

If double placements occur, the distribution of prizes can change slightly. This is always clearly communicated in our update post on the winners.

We’ll See You!

Best sign up right away, so you cannot forget it. Once that is done, you can happily anticipate the tournament and practice. Show your skills at the clash of the best!

Greetings, and already wishing you a good hand,
