Pyramid Solitaire Game Review

Pyramid Solitaire is a solitaire card game that is deceptively tricky. It is an exciting mix of simple adding game and classic solitaire. It features a tableau with a triangular shape comprising of overlapping rows. In addition, rather than building up every suit, the aim of a player in this game is to match cards so that they can form pairs adding up to 13. The game has different variations. However, the rules are the same in all variations.

Features

There are four major features of this game. They are as follows:

The Pyramid

Pyramid Solitaire has 28 cards that form a pyramid. These cards are in 7 rows. Cards in the other row cover each card in the adjacent row partially. A player wins the game after removing all cards from this Pyramid. However, not every game is winnable. A game usually notifies the player whether they do not have a winning chance.

The Stock

At the bottom left side, there is a facedown pile. This is used by the player to draw and put cards onto the Waste. The best game possible with Pyramid Solitaire is when the stock is not used but two cards are removed from the Pyramid at a time. In such a case, the move counts are 14.

The Waste

This is the face-up pile that is adjacent to the Stock. Players can match cards that are on the Waste in the Pyramid to remove Pyramid cards. For instance, a player can drag 4 from Waste to the open 9 on the Pyramid. Both of these cards can then be moved to Foundation and eventually out of the game.

The Foundation

This is the pile at the bottom right side. This is where players put cards that they remove from the Pyramid.

Allowed moves

When playing Pyramid Solitaire, you are allowed to flip cards onto the Waste from the Stock. You are also allowed to move the top card on the Waste to the open Pyramid. You can do this by dragging the top card on the Waste to the Pyramid card so that you eventually remove both of them or click on the Waste card first then click on the Pyramid card.

A player is also allowed to move the Pyramid card onto a different Pyramid card when both cards are available and not covered by other cards. The game also allows you to move Pyramid cards onto a covering Pyramid card. Other moves that are allowed in Pyramid Solitaire include resetting empty stock, moving King to a Foundation and unlimited undos.
