Super Fun, but Also Rigged
I am going to agree with the review by Barbie Herr. this game is both super fun and addictive. I have been playing it every night before bed and it is hard to put down.
What did get in the way of my fun and the reason I will be deleting this game is that the shuffle and deals are absolutely not random chance. I know because I played several hundred hands and started keeping track of the statistical likelihood of the deals. The software regularly does things like dealing a cluster or wall of four sixes at the base of the pyramid with multiple sevens up above, making it impossible to win that hand. this doesn’t just happen occasionally, it happens about every other hand. I can understand wanting to increase difficulty on certain games to encourage repeat play,, but I would imagine that a large number of people like myself play this game to relax, not get frustrated by artificially manufactured difficulty.

Pyramid Solitaire
I enjoy your game very much, but after playing it for several months now, I’m having the increasing feeling that the computer running the game is spitting out impossible to win scenarios more and more frequently. Not just an occasional difficult game, but more and more constant impossible games. Thank you for your time.
