Variations

Use the "New Game" button to choose one of the game variations (Elevator or Panoramic Elevator).

It is the hardest and most exciting variation, because only the free cards are face down. So you need to be very lucky, because, as you don't know the cards that are in the pyramid, it's not possible to plan the moves that would release the most useful cards.

Although all the pyramid cards are turned over, this variation also requires a lot of luck, since the order of the cards present in the stock is not known and often the positioning of the cards in the pyramid is not favorable;
This variation is more strategic, as it is possible to see the cards available in the pyramid and, in a way, plan the moves.

A simple strategy is to use as many cards from the pyramid as possible before turning over a new card from the stock;
Another strategy is to preferentially use the cards in the center, as they lock up more cards than the ones at the ends;
It is also a good option to prioritize the removal of cards that, when eliminated, immediately release new cards;
In "Panoramic Elevator" mode, it is interesting to observe the cards present in the pyramid and think of a strategy to use them in the best possible way.

Add 1 point for each card removed from the card pyramid. So the maximum score in both variations is 28 points;
Unlike the other solitaire games in Solitaire, there is no "Undo" button, as it would spoil the fun of the game, which is relying on luck to win;
It takes a lot of games to win (approximately 1 out of 50 on "Elevator" and 1 out of 40 on "Panoramic Elevator") and a lot of patience to get over the frustrations when you can't win by very little.
