Play Double Pyramid Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

Clear pairs that add up to 13 across a nine-row, forty-five-card pyramid, with fifty-nine more cards waiting in the stock. Chase a tough 5% win rate.

Double Pyramid Solitaire is Thomas Warfield's two-deck expansion of Pyramid Solitaire: forty-five cards spread across a nine-row pyramid, with the other fifty-nine cards waiting in the stock. The rules stay the same as the original, clear pairs of exposed cards whose ranks add up to 13, and kings come off alone, but a bigger pyramid means more cards jammed up behind each other. That's why the game is tough, with just a 5% chance of winning; skill and luck both play a part in getting there.

If two decks sound like fun, Anubis Solitaire is worth a look too: same pyramid, same pairing rules, but the stock deals to three waste piles at once instead of one.

Want something built on stacks instead of pairs? The classic Spider Solitaire is right there.

How to play Double Pyramid Solitaire

Layout:

Pyramid of 45 cards: Only cards not covered by another card are playable. Remove pairs of exposed cards whose ranks add up to 13; kings come off alone. Click one card, then a match, or right-click a card, to discard the pair.

Stock: Click to turn over one card at a time to the waste. There are two redeals.

Waste: The top card is playable.

Pyramid:

Forty-five cards, dealt into nine overlapping rows: one card in the first row, two in the second, three in the third, four in the fourth, five in the fifth, six in the sixth, seven in the seventh, eight in the eighth, and nine in the ninth. Every card is dealt face-up.

No building is allowed on the pyramid.

Cards not covered by another card are playable.

The pyramid's empty slots may not be filled.

Stock and waste:

There is one waste pile, and the remaining fifty-nine cards form the stock.

Clicking the stock deals one card to the waste. Its top card can be paired with any exposed pyramid card, and it doesn't matter which one you click first. There are three passes through the stock allowed.

The top waste card is always ready for play.
