How to play Pyramid Solitaire

Objective

Remove all 28 cards from the pyramid by pairing them to a total of 13.

Setup

  • 28 cards form a seven-row pyramid, each card partly covered by two cards below it.
  • The remaining 24 cards form the stock and waste.

Rules

  1. Aces = 1, Jacks = 11, Queens = 12, Kings = 13.
  2. Any two exposed cards summing to 13 are removed together.
  3. A King is worth 13 on its own and is removed by itself.
  4. A pyramid card is only exposed when both cards covering it are gone.
  5. Waste and stock cards may pair with pyramid cards.

Strategy tips

  • Prioritise pairs that unlock two pyramid cards at once.
  • Track where the Kings are — they're free removals.
  • Don't burn the stock quickly; each pass is limited.
