How to Play Pyramid

The goal of Pyramid is to remove cards from the layout in pairs that add up to 13. A king counts as 13 on its own and is removed by itself; every other card needs a partner — for example, a queen with an ace, a jack with a two, or a ten with a three.

  • A pyramid card can only be used when it isn't covered by the two cards below it.
  • You can pair a pyramid card with another open card or with the top card of the waste.
  • If no matching pair is available, draw the next card from the stock.
  • Everything works with taps — no dragging required, which makes mobile play effortless.

Core Rules of Pyramid

In the classic version, a pyramid of 28 cards is dealt from a single deck. The remaining cards stay in the stock and are turned over one at a time into the waste. You gradually free up the upper rows by matching pairs that add up to 13, while trying not to spend useful waste cards too early.

Compared with Klondike, Spider, and FreeCell, this game is quicker to learn and better suited to short sessions. That makes Pyramid a light, approachable entry point on the site.

Why Pyramid Is So Engaging

Pyramid looks simple, but it quickly forces you to weigh short-term gains against stronger strategic moves. Sometimes the right play isn't the first available pair — it's waiting for a card from the stock so you can open the lower rows sooner and avoid blocking the combinations you need.
