    • This game uses a single standard deck of 52 cards.

      • 28 cards are dealt directly to the pyramid.
      • 24 cards are dealt to the reserves across 8 columns of 3.
  • Basic rules
    • Match pairs of cards in the pyramid stack whose sums equal 13.
      • For the purposes of the game, the cards have the following values:
        • Aces have a value of 1
        • Jacks have a value of 11
        • Queens have a value of 12
      • Kings can be removed by themselves with no need to pair them.
      • Matching pairs are: Ace-Queen, 2-Jack, 3-10, 4-9, 5-8, 6-7.
      • Only free cards can be removed.
        • Free cards have no cards on top of them.
    • Select the undo button to remove your last moves. This will subtract 150 points from your final score.
    • You have 3 minutes and 20 seconds to clear the stack.
    • The game ends when you’ve cleared the entire stack, run of time, or run out of valid moves.
      • You will only win if you clear the entire stack. Even if the last 2 cards can be paired, the game doesn’t count it as a win.
      • On the game over screen, you have 2 options:
        • Submit your score.
        • Try again.
  • Scoring
    • You earn 150 points for every pair of cards (or King) you remove from the tableau, for a maximum card-base score of 4,200.
    • Your remaining time when you beat the game is also worth points, with each second being valued at 50 points.
    • On the game over screen, you can submit your score to the leaderboard. Your can do this regardless of whether you’ve won.
• Tips
  • Some of the configurations of this game are unwinnable.
    • Don’t worry too much if you don’t seem to win.
  • See if you can remove many cards from the pyramid early in the game while using few cards from the reserves to maximize your play options & leave many available legal moves later into the game.
    • Don’t be afraid to undo if you make a mistake.
  • Look near the top of the pyramid to see which cards you may need to save for the end to pair with the top 3 cards.
  • Whenever a card is directly atop its match you’ll need to pair both of them off with other cards that match.
  • Try to pull cards from the pyramid and work on all parts of it in parallel.
    • When a card in the Giza or reserves part of the tableau at the bottom has no cards underneath it try to use another card to make the play if possible to keep your play options open.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like Pyramid Solitaire card games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
