How to play
Pyramid Solitaire deals a seven-row pyramid of cards and places the rest in a draw pile. Your goal is to clear every pyramid card by pairing exposed cards that sum to thirteen, and the developer says the game ends when no more pairs can be made.
Only exposed cards can be paired, so the shape of the pyramid changes as you remove cards and new ones become available. Face cards follow their own values, and a King is removed on its own without a partner. When no pair is visible, you can draw from the stock to look for matches, and unmatched draws are discarded.
The goal is to reach a score of zero by clearing all pyramid cards, so every removed card moves you toward the finish.
Controls explained
The provider does not list specific controls for this game. The game is played by matching exposed cards that sum to thirteen, and a King can be removed by itself.
Use the draw pile when you need a new card. The developer says unmatched draws are discarded, so each draw is a one-way move.
Tips
- Look for Kings first. They leave the pyramid alone, and removing them can expose cards underneath.
- Check both ends of the pyramid before drawing. A pair may already be exposed.
- Keep track of which ranks you have seen. If a seven is buried, a six will not help until the seven is free.
- Draw only when no exposed pair works. Discarded draws do not come back.
- Work from the top rows down when possible, since removing upper cards opens lower ones.
FAQ
What counts as an exposed card? A card is exposed when no other pyramid card sits on top of it. Only exposed cards can be paired or removed.
How are face cards counted? Jacks count as eleven and Queens as twelve. A King is removed on its own, while Jacks and Queens need a partner that brings the total to thirteen.
What happens when I draw a card that does not match? The developer says unmatched draws are discarded. The game ends when no more pairs can be made.
