An introduction to playing Pyramid Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. 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. Take a moment to read the table. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
