Getting started with Pyramid Solitaire
A clear plan starts with the current position. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Take a moment to read the table. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
