Clear all 28 pyramid cards by matching them with the waste pile.

The game

The Pyramid
  • 28 cards in 7 rows forming an inverted triangle
  • Cards become playable when uncovered
  • Click a card to remove it if exactly one rank above or below the waste top
  • Ranks wrap - Ace connects to both 2 and King
Stock & Waste
  • 24 remaining cards
  • Flip one at a time to start a chain
  • Build chains by playing cards one rank up or down

Variants

  • Standard: Covered cards hidden until revealed
  • Panoramic: All cards visible - plan your routes

Strategy

  • Chain multiple cards before drawing from stock
  • Wrapping (K-A-2 or 2-A-K) extends your chains
  • Panoramic mode rewards planning; Standard requires adaptation

Elevator vs Golf

Elevator uses a pyramid layout instead of columns, and covered cards add an element of discovery in Standard mode.
