Would you like a Solitaire game with a slight amount of math included for good measure? Can you count to 13? Pyramid Solitaire is the game for you. The objective Pyramid Solitaire is to get rid of all of the cards in the card Pyramid. To get rid of the cards you have to select cards whose value equals 13. For example: a 6 and a 7, 2 and Jack, Ace and Queen. The King is 13 by itself so you only have to select one King to get rid of it. Pyramid Solitaire is a Solitaire game played with a 52 card deck set up in a triangle. You must match the accessible cards to get to the cards under it. Numerical cards are face value. King = 13 Queen - 12 Jack = 11 Ace = 1
