Rules

Welcome to Pyramid Solitaire for Windows

The game is played by trying clear all the cards from the pyramid.

You clear cards from the pyramid by selecting a pair of cards that

totals 13. You can only select a card if it is uncovered

(i.e., not covered by another card above it in the pyramid).

You may also select the top card of the Hand or the Talon.

You are allowed to go through the Talon or Hand as often as needed.

Values of the cards are as follows:

Kings   13      So you do not need a second card to clear them

Queens  12      So you must select an Ace to make 13

Jacks   11      So only a 2 card will make 13

All other cards are their face value including Aces which are 1.


Stuck

The luck of the draw being what it is, you can sometimes find yourself

with no uncovered cards that have a match with any of the cards of the

Hand, Talon or any other uncoverd cards. At this point the game in not

continuable. In tournament play the remaining cards would be counted

against you.

If you think this situation has occurred and you want to be sure

( its easy to overlook a matching combination) then select "Check" from

the menu. The "Check Playability" option will determine if the game is

playable or not and report this to you.

You may start a new game at any time from the menu.
