Game introduction
What is Pyramid Solitaire?
Pyramid Solitaire places 28 cards in an overlapping seven-row pyramid and keeps the rest in a draw pile. Only uncovered cards can be removed, so each pair can reveal new choices beneath it.
Kings are worth thirteen and leave on their own. Queens pair with aces, jacks with twos, tens with threes, and so on until the pyramid is clear.
