The Pyramid Solitaire playbook
A clear plan starts with the current position. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
Work at your own pace. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Use another round to revisit a decision.
The purpose of your moves
