Pyramid Solitaire Guide

Learn Pyramid Solitaire rules, card values, pairing strategy, and how it compares with classic Klondike.

  1. Pair-to-13 Rules

    Pyramid uses simple card-value matching instead of suit foundations.

  2. Fast Rounds

    The pyramid layout makes each available move easy to scan.

  3. Removal Puzzle

    Winning depends on clearing blockers in the right order.

A few things you might be wondering

How do you win Pyramid Solitaire?

You win by removing every card from the pyramid, usually by pairing exposed cards that add up to 13.

What is a King worth in Pyramid Solitaire?

A King is worth 13, so it can be removed by itself.

Is Pyramid Solitaire like Klondike?

They are both solitaire games, but Pyramid is a pairing game while Klondike is built around tableau sequences and foundations.

What if I make a mistake?

Use Undo when it is available to take back a move. Check the current mode’s rules for any effect on scoring or eligibility. Starting or restarting a game may replace your current progress.
