Objective: Remove all 28 cards from the pyramid. Exposed cards can be removed in pairs that total 13. A King counts as 13 and can be removed on its own.
Card values: Ace = 1, Jack = 11, Queen = 12, King = 13.
- Exposed cards: A pyramid card is exposed only when no card overlaps it from the row below.
- Waste: Draw cards from the stock to the waste. Only the top waste card can be used.
- Pairs: Example combinations include Queen + Ace, Jack + 2, 10 + 3, 8 + 5, and 7 + 6.
- Redeal: If you choose the 1-redeal mode, an empty stock can be recycled once after the waste has built up.
Controls: Tap an exposed card to select it. Tap a matching partner to remove both. Tap the stock to draw. Tap a selected card again to deselect it.
Scoring: +20 for each removed pair, +10 for each removed King, +5 for each exposed card newly uncovered by a removal, and −1 for undo.
Tips:
- Removing a pair that exposes two new cards is often stronger than using the same ranks elsewhere.
- Be cautious with waste matches. Sometimes a waste card is your only route to free a buried pyramid card.
- If multiple pairs are available, prioritize lower rows first because they unlock more of the pyramid.
