How to play
- Remove cards in pairs that add up to 13 — a 6 with a 7, a 9 with a 4, and so on.
- A Jack is 11, a Queen is 12, and a King is 13, so Kings are removed on their own.
- You can only take a card when nothing overlaps it from below.
- Turn cards from the stock to the waste to find more matches, up to three passes.
Strategy & tips
- Look for pairs that free up the most cards behind them, not just the easiest match.
- Keep an eye on which cards you still need — do not bury a card you must pair later.
- Use the stock deliberately; you only get three passes through it.
- Clear Kings as soon as they are free — they take no partner and open the pyramid up.
- Plan a few moves ahead so a needed card is not left stranded under others.
