Making your first moves in Pyramid Solitaire
Keep the active rule in mind. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. 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.
