Understand the basics of Pyramid Solitaire
Take a moment to read the table. 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. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
