Only exposed cards contain either in the Pyramid or the Waste are in play. The player must click on the Stock when required to send a card to the Waste where it may be played. The remaining 24 cards are set face-down and squared into the Stock. In all, 28 cards are dealt face-up into the pyramid. The process continues with 3 cards in the next row, then 4, and so on up to 7 cards in the bottom-most row to complete the pyramid. Then 2 face-up cards are placed underneath in a horizontal row such that they both mostly overlap the top card but do not overlap each other. When the game starts, 1 random card is dealt face-up in the top center of the pyramid. The goal of Pyramid Solitaire is to empty all the cards from the pyramid into the Foundation. The Easy Pyramid Solitaire allows for 2 passes of the Stock, while this version allows only 1 pass.Ī variation of Pyramid Solitaire called Tut's Tomb was release in 1990 in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack. The game is played with a 52-card deck of standard playing cards. This particular version is actually the Relaxed Pyramid Solitaire variation because it allows a game to be won even if cards are left in the Stock. Pyramid Solitaire is also known as King Tut and Tut's Tomb.
