The pyramid has seven rows, starting with one card on the top and ending with seven cards on the bottom. The Pyramid Solitaire game uses a standard deck of 52 cards and owes its name to the 28 cards that appear on the tableau in the form of a pyramid (see figure 1). The game is played by one person, and the basic rules are fairly simple. The goal is to remove pairs of cards that add up to a total of 13. Pyramid is a unique twist on the classic Klondike Solitaire game, where strategy and fun are combined with a mild mathematical challenge.
