Play Pyramid Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

28 cards fall into a triangle, and your job is to clear it by pairing ranks that add up to 13. Kings need no partner, they're already worth 13 alone.

Pyramid Solitaire deals 28 cards into a triangle and challenges you to clear it by pairing up cards that add to 13; Kings come off alone since they're already worth 13 by themselves. It's one of the best-known pair-removal games out there.

AisleRiot calls this game "Treize," French for "thirteen," a nod to the pairing rule at its heart.

If you enjoy Pyramid, you should try King Tut Solitaire, another pyramid-style pair-removal game, or Spider Solitaire, a traditional solitaire card game.

How to play Pyramid Solitaire

Pyramid:

There are twenty-eight cards in the pyramid. The first row gets one card, and each row after that adds one more, overlapping the row above it, down to the seventh row with seven cards. Every card is dealt face-up.

You can't build sequences on the pyramid. Instead, pair up any two exposed cards whose ranks add to 13 (Ace counts as 1, Jack as 11, Queen as 12) to remove them both. A King is worth 13 on its own and can be removed by itself. You can also pair an exposed pyramid card with the top card of the waste.

Cards on the pyramid that aren't covered by another card are exposed and playable.

The pyramid's empty slots can't be refilled.

Stock and waste:

There's one waste pile, and the remaining cards make up the stock.

Click the stock to deal one card to the waste. You get three passes through the stock.

The top waste card is ready for play.
