About Pyramid Solitaire Blue

The final snap as the last king slides off the tableau — every card of the 52-card deck has been paired into 13s, the pyramid floor swept clean. It’s a visual reset that rewards the moment you spot which exposed card can meet its numerical counterpart from the stock or an open slot. Pyramid Solitaire Blue stakes its appeal on that clean board payoff, not on adjectives.

There’s something so satisfying about peeling away cards from this pyramid, matching pairs that add up to 13. You’ve got to think ahead—which exposed card to grab, when to draw from the stock, and how to clear the board fast for a higher score. It’s a clean, polished puzzle that hooks you with that perfect mix of luck and strategy.

How to Play Pyramid Solitaire Blue

Cards are dealt face up in a pyramid formation (28 cards), with the remaining deck placed as a stock.
Click any two exposed cards whose values add up to 13 to remove the pair. Aces count as 1, Jacks as 11, Queens as 12, and Kings as 13 (Kings can be removed alone).
Only cards that are not covered by any other card are considered exposed and available to match.
Draw cards from the stock to match with any exposed card when no direct pair is available on the pyramid.
Continue pairing until all 52 cards are removed; the game tracks elapsed time to calculate your final score.

Tips & Strategies

Prioritize clearing cards that block multiple lower pyramid layers — freeing a row often reveals several new matches.
Hold off drawing from the stock until all possible pyramid-only pairs are exhausted to keep options open.
Remember the numeric values: Aces are 1, Jacks 11, Queens 12 — avoid treating them as face cards worth 10.
When the stock is your only play, match a drawn card with an exposed card that also unblocks the most pyramid depth.
Keep an eye on leftover Kings early; removing them solo early can free space without wasting a potential pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I click a card that doesn't form a pair adding to 13?

The game will not remove the cards — you simply need to select a different card or pair. No penalty is applied, but it may slow your clear time.

Can I remove two cards from the stock together?

No. Stock cards can only be matched one at a time with an exposed card from the pyramid. You cannot pair two drawn cards with each other.

Is the pyramid always exactly 28 cards at the start?

Yes. The pyramid uses the first 28 cards of the 52-card deck, arranged in seven rows with increasing card counts (row 1 has 1 card, row 2 has 2, etc.).

What counts as an 'exposed' card on the pyramid?

A card is exposed if no other card overlaps it from above. In the pyramid, only cards on the bottom row are initially exposed; higher cards become exposed as the cards covering them are removed.
