The purpose of your moves
Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
The steps to play
- Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone.
- Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
- Draw when useful.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
Keep this in mind
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
