Pyramid solitaire is a well-known solitaire game. The goal in this game is to remove all cards on the pyramid by pairing the cards which give a sum of 13 points regardless of their suits. You can click to remove any pair of cards on the pyramid or the discard pile that gives the sum of 13, for example A and Q, 10 and 3, while a K can be removed by itself. When no moves are available, click the stock pile and get a new card. Count your steps wisely, clear all cards and win the game!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pyramid Solitaire Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyramid Solitaire Mobile has 552 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Classic Pyramid Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 69% of Pyramid Solitaire Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
