About

Pyramid Solitaire 3D

Features
Read full description

This is the classic game of pyramid solitaire. Pick pairs of exposed cards, that add up to the number 13, and place them on the discard pile to the right. The king's value is 13 so it can be discarded on its own. The game is complete when all the cards have been placed on the discard pile, so that there are none remaining anywhere else.

About

Solitaire Collection

Read full description

Play only winnable games. Every game you start can be solved, so the effort you put in always counts. Fifteen classic solitaire games. No ads, no coins, no timers and no tracking. It's just the game. FIFTEEN GAMES, ONE APP Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, TriPeaks, Pyramid, Golf, Aces Up, Yukon, Scorpion, Easthaven, Calculation, Baker's Dozen, Forty Thieves, Canfield and Spiderette. There are five more games you can't buy at all. You unlock them by playing, and which ones they are stays a surprise until you do. Klondike, Golf and Aces Up are free forever, and so is the Daily Challenge, whichever game it falls on. EVERY DEAL CAN BE WON Most solitaire apps hand you a random deal, and some of those can never be won, however well you play. You can spend twenty minutes on one before you find out. We take great care over this: each deal is tested before it reaches you, so the cards are genuinely shuffled and there is always a way through. If you'd rather take your chances, you can switch to a plain random shuffle any time. STUCK? DON'T START OVER If you get stuck, the app can show you the winning line. It plays out one move at a time, as slowly as you like, and you can take over again whenever you want. DAILY CHALLENGE There's a new deal every day, and everyone in the world gets the same cards. It's free every day, even when it lands on one of the paid games. Keep a streak going, and share your result with friends without giving the deal away. SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR As you win, you climb the ranks from Novice to Immortal and earn a medal in every game, from bronze up to platinum, all kept in your Trophy Room. Each season brings thirty deals, the same for everyone and played in order, with a card back, a felt and a trophy to win along the way. There are more card backs, felts and a full set of card faces to unlock as you play. None of it can be bought. ACCESSIBILITY Colour-blind mode gives every suit its own clear colour, and you can add suit letters to the corner of each card so nothing depends on colour alone. You can also choose classic two-colour or four-colour suits. Left-handed or right-handed, the layout flips so the cards sit under your thumb, and you can pinch to zoom on the bigger boards. It works in portrait or landscape, on a phone or a tablet. Undo as often as you like, pick up where you left off, and save up to thirty games to come back to. MAKE IT YOURS Seven themes change the look of the whole app: Minimal Clean, Midnight Noir, Celestial Night, Steampunk Engine, Ink & Bamboo, Arctic Expedition and Desert Oasis. Each comes with its own felt, and you can swap in any felt you've won. There are three sets of hand-drawn court cards and plenty of card backs, from a plain Forest to engraved guilloche. Switching takes a tap. FIVE LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish, all the way through: menus, rules, settings and the daily calendar. Pick one, or let it follow your device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN We want our games free of clutter. There are no ads in any Zkootie game and there never will be. We don't use trackers or analytics, and we never sell anything about you. We only ask for information when the game genuinely needs it to work. HONEST ABOUT MONEY Klondike, Golf, Aces Up and the Daily Challenge are free, and they'll stay that way. For the rest there's a small yearly fee, with a 30-day free trial. It unlocks all fifteen games, every theme, the seasons and saved games, and lets you play the five games you earn. Plenty of solitaire apps charge more each month than we charge for a whole year, just to switch off their ads. One membership covers every Zkootie game, and we'd much rather charge a little than sell your attention to advertisers. You don't need an account to play. Deal on.
