Thus when an Ace rests on a Queen, that Queen can not be removed. All other cards count at their face value. Kings count as 13 and can be removed on their own. Aces count as 1, Jacks – 11, Queens – 12. To play, pairs of exposed cards can be removed to the Foundation if their values total 13. The remaining cards are placed to the side face down. Only the top card of each pile and the exposed cards in the pyramid may be used to make matches. It is possible to put the top card from the draw pile to the discard pile(s), but not backwards. The remaining 24 cards are put in the draw pile. Each card covers the one on its upper left and upper right (if there are cards in those places). The pyramid has 7 rows, and the number of cards equals the row position. First, 28 cards are dealt into a pyramid, starting with one card at the top. Pyramid Solitaire is played with a 52-card deck. Your goal is to clear pyramid of cards by creating combinations of 2 cards that add up to 13.
