An introduction to playing Pyramid Solitaire
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Take a moment to read the table. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
One thing to notice as you play
Keep the active rule in mind. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Use another round to revisit a decision.
