We consider that a solitaire folly, but what the hey, play which ever version floats your boat! Shared rules They both share the majority of rules, but the modern game (the one we have on our website) is easier and considered by many to be much more fun! The idea of the game is to remove all the cards from the pyramid, although some purists may argue that all cards including the cards you can deal for yourself should be removed. There are two types of pyramid solitaire, Classic and Modern. With the remaining 24 cards you can start the game with three cards turned over in separate columns. A total of 28 cards are dealt to this pyramid, all face up.
You must deal a pyramid that is seven cards high that descends to be seven cards wide. Pyramid Solitaire is played with a deck of 52 cards (with no jokers). Cards are removed by selecting pairs that when added up come to 13. In our classic version of Pyramid Solitaire you must try to win as many rounds as you can by getting rid of all the cards in the layout in the top half of the screen.
