About the game

Remove exposed cards from the pyramid in pairs that add up to 13. Kings can be removed on their own; clear the entire pyramid to win.

Getting started

Seven rows form the pyramid, with a draw stock and waste. Recycling the waste depends on the chosen option.

How to play

The pyramid has seven rows with 28 face-up cards. Remove all pyramid cards; you do not need to clear the remaining stock. Only uncovered cards and the top waste card are available.
Select two available cards totalling 13. A = 1, J = 11, Q = 12; K = 13 and is removed with one click. One card of a pair may be the top waste card. A card cannot be paired with a card currently covering it.
Turn stock cards manually, one at a time. Before dealing, choose zero, one or two waste recycles. Recycling preserves the order without shuffling. Your score is the number of pyramid cards removed. Random deals may be unsolvable.

Game variants

Accordion

Merge all 52 cards into a single pile. Move the entire selected pile one or exactly three positions to the left if the top cards share a rank or suit.

Remove 48 cards so that, after the stock runs out, each of the four columns contains just one ace. Remove a top card only if another column has a higher top card of the same suit. Ace is highest, followed by king down to two.

Forty Thieves

Move all 104 cards to eight foundations, from ace to king in the same suit. Move only one exposed top card at a time. Build columns downward by one rank in the same suit. Any top card may fill an empty column.

Yukon

Move all 52 cards to four foundations, from ace to king in the same suit. Build columns downward by one rank, alternating red and black. Any face-up card moves with all cards below it, even if the group is not ordered.

Klondike Solitaire

Play classic Klondike with seven tableau columns. Build alternating-colour descending sequences and move cards to four foundations starting with aces.

Spider Solitaire

Arrange ten columns into complete sequences from king to ace. Start with one suit or choose a harder game with two or four suits.

FreeCell Solitaire

All 52 cards are visible from the start. Use four temporary free cells to organise descending sequences and move every card to the foundations.
