About Pyramid

Pyramid Solitaire is about removing pairs of cards that add up to 13. Cards can leave the pyramid only when they are uncovered, so each match changes what becomes available next.

Good play starts with freeing cards that block several others. Kings are useful because they count as 13 by themselves and can open space without spending a second card.

Pyramid Retreat is a related, gentler take on the same pairing idea. Choose Pyramid when you want the sharper version where every pair can affect the rest of the layout.

You Win!

You win when all cards are removed from the pyramid!

Card Values

  • Ace = 1
  • 2-10 = face value
  • Jack = 11
  • Queen = 12
  • King = 13 (removes alone!)

How to Remove Cards

Click two exposed cards that add up to 13. Valid pairs:

  • Ace + Queen = 13
  • 2 + Jack = 13
  • 3 + 10 = 13
  • 4 + 9 = 13
  • 5 + 8 = 13
  • 6 + 7 = 13
  • King = 13 (click alone to remove)

Exposed Cards

Only cards that are not covered by another card can be selected. Cards at the bottom of the pyramid are always exposed.

Stock and Waste

Click the stock to draw cards to the waste pile. You can pair waste cards with pyramid cards, or pair two waste cards together! When the stock is empty, you're done—no recycling in this version.
