The essentials of playing Pyramid Solitaire
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
