An introduction to playing Pyramid Solitaire

Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Work at your own pace. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
