The Pyramid Solitaire playbook
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
