description Pyramid Solitaire Overview
Pyramid Solitaire is a single-player patience card game played with a pyramid-shaped layout of 28 cards. Players remove exposed pairs whose values total 13, using the standard values of ace through king; a king, worth 13, can normally be removed by itself. The game combines matching, sequencing, and access management because covered cards become available only when the cards above them are cleared.
