Solitaire Rules

  • For this game you need a standard 52-card deck.

  • Shuffle and deal 28 overlapping cards in the shape of a pyramid (see image).

  • Discard any available pairs of cards whose added values are 13. For example: A+Q, 2+J, 3+10, 4+9, 5+8, 6+7. The value of the Kings is 13, so you can discard them by themselves.

  • You can make pairs from:

    • exposed cards on the pyramid

    • any exposed card and the top card of the stock pile

    • any exposed card and the top card of the waste pile.

  • Deal one card at a time from the stock to the waste pile. If it is a King or a card that can be paired with a card on the pyramid, discard it/them.

  • There are no redeals in this game.
