Here is our detailed guide for pyramid solitaire how to play. Pyramid is played using a standard card deck. If you're looking for a classic card game experience, try our pyramid solitaire free online game with standard face cards and card backs. You can naturally play with a novelty or custom deck if you want, but our guide will use the rules and terminology intended for a standard deck.
The objective of pyramid solitaire is to move pairs of cards that add up to 13 from the pyramid down to the foundation discard pile. You can match cards based on their face value to remove them. With standard rules, the face cards are valued as follows. Since kings are already valued at 13, they can be immediately moved to the foundation as a single card. A perfect score for pyramid is zero since the idea is to move every card to the foundation.
If there are remaining cards that can't be paired, the game of pyramid solitaire results in a loss. This makes it different from many games where you're attempting to earn the highest score possible.
The pyramid solitaire rules for setup are relatively simple. It's a unique solitaire card game in that it requires you to arrange the tableau the play area for building your foundation in an unusual way.
Instead of using the typical seven-row foundation of the original game, you'll be building the tableau in the shape of a pyramid. After you shuffle the deck, begin by placing a single card as the top of the pyramid. Below the top card, you'll place a pair of cards forming a triangle.
You'll then place three cards beneath them and so on until you finish with a row of seven cards. In total, you should have 28 pyramid cards.
