About Pyramid Solitaire

This is a classic addition (sum 13) solitaire game, in which the layout of the cards is reminiscent of the ancient pyramids of Egypt. Other variations of this game are Giza Solitaire and Pharaohs Solitaire.

Other games that resemble a pyramid structure are Elevator Solitaire (inverted pyramid) and Tri Peaks Solitaire (three small pyramids side by side). If you like the idea of forming pairs, we recommend Isabel Solitaire.
