Pyramid Solitaire: Card Game for Girls

Pyramid Solitaire is a card game about adding to 13. The cards are laid out in a pyramid, and the goal is to clear every one of them.

The math

Pick two uncovered cards whose values add up to 13 and they are removed. Aces count as 1, jacks as 11 and queens as 12, so a queen pairs with an ace and a jack with a two. A king is worth 13 on its own, so a single click clears it.

When you are stuck

If there is no pair on the board, deal a card from the stockpile to open up new options.

Tips

• clear cards near the top of the pyramid to uncover the ones beneath
• before using a stock card, check whether a board pair is better
• keep track of which values are still waiting for their partner
