Instructions
🎮 How to Play
Welcome to Pyramid Solitaire Classic! Your goal is to clear the entire 28-card pyramid by removing pairs of cards that add up to 13. Click on two exposed cards whose values total 13 (e.g., a 5 and an 8, or a King worth 13 by itself). Cards are only exposed if they are not covered by any others. Use the draw pile in the bottom-right to reveal new cards one at a time. You can also move a drawn card to the waste pile if it cannot be used. Strategically plan your moves to uncover as many pyramid cards as possible!

🎯 Objectives
The primary objective in Pyramid Solitaire Classic is to achieve the highest score by completely clearing the pyramid of all cards. You win the game by successfully removing every single card from the pyramid layout and the draw pile. Each pair you remove earns you points, with bonuses for speed and for clearing the pyramid without going through the draw deck multiple times. Your main short-term goal is to always be uncovering new pyramid cards by making strategic pairs, ensuring you don’t trap valuable cards.
💡 Pro Tips
• 🎪 Always prioritize removing cards from the pyramid itself over using the draw pile. This opens up more possibilities and exposes new cards.
• ⚡ Kings are your best friend! Since they are worth 13, you can remove them instantly as a single card. Clear them as soon as they become available.
• 💰 Plan several moves ahead. Before making a pair, look to see which card(s) it will uncover and if that new card can be used immediately.
• 🏆 Use the undo button strategically! It’s not just for fixing mistakes; use it to explore different move pathways without penalty and learn advanced strategy.
• Don’t rush through the draw pile. Cycle through it only when you have no more moves on the pyramid, as you have a limited number of passes.
