Combine two cards whose ranks add up to 13 and clear all 28 cards from the pyramid. A single-player card game. Clear, classic playing cards on a deep green felt board. Enjoy it with a tap or a drag. A card turns face up once both cards below it are removed. Remove a King on its own. Draw one card at a time from the stock and pair it with a face-up card. Cycle through the stock as many times as you like. Clear the 28 pyramid cards to win. Tap two cards in a row, or drag a card onto its partner. Tap the selected card again to deselect it. Rethink a move with Undo, or Restart to replay the same deal. New game and Restart ask for confirmation only during a game in progress. Every game earns coins. Get card backs, JQK art, tables and win effects in the shop, then mix them in Dress Up to make the board your own. Every 10 games, the exploration of your chosen place ends and you always find an item. There are 24 secrets you can only find by exploring. Free, with ads.
