Objective

Remove all cards from the pyramid by pairing cards that add up to 13. Kings (value 13) are removed on their own.

The Layout

  • Pyramid — cards arranged in a triangle (7 rows for Single, 9 for Double)
  • Stock — draw cards to find pairing options
  • Waste — the top waste card can be paired with pyramid cards

Card Values

  • A=1, 2=2, ... 10=10, J=11, Q=12, K=13
  • Click two exposed cards that sum to 13 to remove them (e.g., 6+7, 5+8, Q+A)
  • Click a King to remove it by itself
  • Cards are exposed when no cards overlap them from below

Tips & Strategy

  • Remove Kings immediately — they block cards beneath them
  • Plan which pairs to remove to expose cards deeper in the pyramid
  • Use stock draws sparingly — you have limited recycles
  • The waste card can pair with pyramid cards — don't forget it
