Pyramid Solitaire:
Pyramid is one of the most addictive solitaire games. It is easy to learn and play.
Pyramid is a solitaire game where the object is to get all the cards from the pyramid to the foundation. Cards are not paires if their values are above 13 or above. As in this game Jacks value at 11, Queens at 12 & Kings at 13. Therefore Kings should be removed immediately without thinking. A card on which another card is placed canno be removed, so you have to play carefully and with full concentration.
Two Version of Pyramid Solitaire
Pyramid Solitaire : is considered to be won if all the cards must be moved from the foundation. The game is not considered if atleast 2 cards cannot be moved from both the Pyramid and Stack.
Relaxed Pyramid Solitaire : to be considered won, all cards from the pyramid must be moved to the foundation; the game can still be won with cards left in the stack
This is a very strategic version of Solitaire card game. This game has the objective of eliminating the entire deck by finding pairs of cards which total 13, where Aces are 1, Jacks 11, Queens 12, and Kings 13. This means that Kings do not need to be paired to be removed.
At the start of the game, only the cards in bottom row of the pyramid are available. The other rows in the pyramid become accessible as the cards below them are removed. Only pyramid cards that are completely uncovered can be removed from the table. Cards from the stock pile are turned over one at a time. When a new card is turned over, the last card is moved to the waste pile. Both the top card of the waste pile and the card turned over from the stock pile can be used in making pairs of 13. They can be combined with each other or with an uncovered card from the pyramid to make 13. Two pyramid cards may also be removed if they total 13. It is possible to go through the stock pile 3 times during a game. There are three areas of the screen:
The pyramid initially contains 28 cards arranged in seven rows. A card cannot be removed from the pyramid if it is covered by another card. Two cards must be removed to access the cards in the upper rows in the middle of the pyramid, but the cards in the sides of the pyramid only need one removal to become available.
