Pyramid Solitaire: rules & strategy
Play Pyramid Solitaire online. Remove uncovered pairs that sum to 13 (Kings remove alone) until the pyramid is cleared.
Objective
Pair cards that add up to thirteen. Difficulty: Medium.
Rules
- Cards form a pyramid. Only fully uncovered cards may be played.
- Remove two cards whose ranks sum to 13 (A=1 … J=11, Q=12). Kings (13) remove alone.
- Use the stock and waste when the pyramid has no legal pairs.
- Clear every pyramid card to win.
Tips to win more often
- Prefer pairs that free the most buried cards.
- Save flexible middle ranks when the pyramid is still deep.
- Watch the stock — running out without a clear path ends the deal.
