The essentials of playing Pyramid Solitaire
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Keep the active rule in mind. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
