Pyramid Cards is a relaxing solitaire game. Twenty-eight cards are dealt in a pyramid and the rest form a deck. Remove pairs of uncovered cards that add up to 13, where an Ace counts 1, a Jack 11 and a Queen 12, and Kings go on their own. Turn cards from the deck to find partners, use undo and hints when you are stuck, and clear the whole pyramid for a big bonus. Choose one, three or unlimited passes through the deck.
How to play
- Choose how many passes through the deck you get.
- Tap two uncovered cards that add up to 13 to remove them; a King is removed alone.
- A card is uncovered when no card overlaps it from below.
- Tap the deck to turn a card onto the pile; the top pile card can be paired too.
- Clear every card in the pyramid to win. The game ends when no moves are left.

Tips
- Work on the cards that block the most others first.
