Three Peaks Solitaire - Egypt

Strive to remove the most cards possible by identifying and clearing clusters forming matching patterns. Prioritize extended series to raise your points and gain the upper hand in the game.Description
Pyramid Solitaire offers a straightforward yet captivating challenge for solo players, centered on clearing an entire pyramid of cards through strategic pairings. The layout forms a classic triangular structure: four rows stacked like ancient stone blocks, with the base holding ten cards and tapering to a single apex. Kings stand alone at value 13, removable without a match, while other cards pair with complements to reach that magic sum—queens need aces, jacks seek twos, and so on down to fives linking with eights. As cards at the base and corners become accessible, you select pairs that total exactly 13, watching them vanish row by row. Use the draw pile wisely, drawing one or three cards at a time to expose hidden faces and maintain momentum. Success demands patience and foresight; a mismatched pair can stall progress, forcing reliance on the deck's reserves. Each cleared pyramid builds confidence for tougher variants, where pyramids grow larger or rules tighten with limited draws. This timeless pursuit tests memory and calculation without complexity, perfect for quick sessions or extended play. Levels escalate in difficulty, introducing wild cards or stricter scoring to keep victories hard-earned. Will you master the pyramid's secrets and triumph over every configuration?
