Pyramid Solitaire: a guide for your next round

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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.

One thing to notice as you play
