Rules Pyramid Solitaire
Summary
The goal is to remove all cards from the pyramid to the foundation (the 'done' pile at the top left) in pairs worth 13 points.
For example, you can form a pair with a "ten" (10 points) and "three" (3 points), etc. ...
The king can be taken alone, since it has a value of 13 points.
Pyramid Solitaire rules
To start the game, watch the bottom row of the pyramid, the free area (7 cards below the base of the pyramid) and the card turned over from stock (the pile of face down, unused cards) .
If any two cards pair to 13 points (or any king is available) click and/or drag the cards together the card(s) will be moved to the foundation.
If you can not make a pair, you must click again on the stock pile - the previous stock card is added to a pile called 'waste' .. the top card of waste is also available for pairing.
You can click on stock as neccessary and work through the pile three times.
You can move cards according to the following rules:
- cards in the pyramid can be moved if they are free (no card is placed above).
- free cards, waste and the stock can be paired together or with free cards in the pyramid.
value figures:
