How Pyramid works
Pyramid is a value-matching solitaire game rather than a building game. Since blocked cards cannot be played, each removal changes what becomes available next.

Pyramid Solitaire
Play a quick removal-style solitaire game where card values matter more than suit. Match uncovered cards that total 13 and clear the full pyramid to win.

Quick rules
- Only uncovered cards are available to remove or pair.
- Pairs must total 13: for example Queen + Ace or 8 + 5.
- Kings count as 13 and are removed alone.
- Clear the entire pyramid to win the deal.
Best early focus
Try to remove cards that uncover the widest set of future choices. Clearing higher rows efficiently matters more than using the first available pair you spot.
