How to Play

1

The Pyramid

28 cards are dealt face-up in a pyramid shape. Only cards that are not partially covered by others are "available" to be played.

2

The Rule of 13

Pair two cards whose values sum to 13. For example: 6+7, 8+5, 9+4, 10+3. Jack counts as 11, Queen as 12, and Ace as 1.

3

The Kings

Kings have a value of 13 on their own. You can click a King to remove it instantly without needing a pair.

4

Winning the Game

Use the stock pile to find more pairs. Your goal is to clear all cards from the pyramid structure to win.

Common Questions

Do I have to clear the whole deck?
Most variations only require you to clear the pyramid itself to claim victory, though clearing the stock pile can earn you extra points.

Can I pair two cards from the stock pile?
Yes! You can pair two cards from the pyramid, one from the pyramid and one from the stock, or even two cards from the stock/waste pile.
