Play Pyramid Solitaire online free — pair cards to 13
Pyramid Solitaire is the one-player card game where 28 cards are dealt face up as a seven-row pyramid and you clear it by removing pairs of uncovered cards whose values add up to 13 — Ace and Queen, 2 and Jack, 3 and 10, 4 and 9, 5 and 8, 6 and 7 — while Kings, worth 13 alone, come off with a single tap. Play Pyramid Solitaire online free on CardCouch, with no download and no sign-up.
Only cards with nothing overlapping them can be played, so the pyramid comes apart from the bottom row up. Draw from the 24-card stock when you are stuck, pair the waste or the face-up stock card with the pyramid, and recycle the waste for up to three passes (the strict traditional game allows one pass and requires the stock to be cleared as well; here an empty pyramid is a win). Unlimited undo is built in, and the site remembers your best time, fewest moves and total wins.
On CardCouch
- Classic Pyramid rules: 28-card pyramid, pairs that total 13, Kings removed alone, and three passes through the stock.
- Tap-to-pair play that works with a mouse, a finger or the keyboard; the top card of the stock is face up and can be paired directly: select its partner, then tap the stock (a tap with nothing selected draws).
- Unlimited undo with a move counter and timer, plus a Passes-left counter so you always know where you stand.
- Personal bests — fastest win and fewest moves — saved on your device; the pyramid scales to fit a phone.
Frequently asked questions
- Which cards add up to 13 in Pyramid Solitaire?
- Ace + Queen, 2 + Jack, 3 + 10, 4 + 9, 5 + 8 and 6 + 7. A King is 13 on its own and is removed alone. Suits do not matter.
- Which cards can I play?
- Uncovered cards only: a pyramid card with both cards beneath it removed, the top card of the waste, and the face-up top card of the stock. The bottom row is uncovered from the start.
- How many passes through the stock do I get?
- Three: the first run through the stock plus two recycles of the waste. The Passes left counter shows how many recycles remain.
- Is Pyramid Solitaire free to play here and does it work on a phone?
- Yes and yes. Pyramid on CardCouch is free, needs no download or account, and the seven-row pyramid scales to fit a phone screen.
