Pyramid Solitaire: what to know before playing
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. A clear plan starts with the current position. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
