HOW TO PLAY

Before you begin:

Pyramid Solitaire is a quick and fun game of clearing twenty eight cards face-up in the shape of a Pyramid. This is achieved by discarding card pairs equal to thir- teen. The Pyramid consists of seven rows of cards start- ing with seven foundation cards. The next row up has six; the next five, four, three, two and finally one card is placed on top of the Pyramid. Once the Pyramid is com- plete, the remaining cards are placed face-up in a pile. This pile is called STOCK.

As you clear your way up the Pyramid, playable cards are only those with no other cards below them. STOCK and WASTE piles can also be used for match- ing. The WASTE pile is created as you shuffle through your STOCK pile one card at a time.

Note: During a game, you’re only allowed to go through your STOCK pile twice. Once you have passed through the STOCK pile once, pressing the DEAL button will reshuffle your WASTE pile and place the cards back into your STOCK pile.

To clear pairs equal to 13, numeric cards are worth their face value and Face Cards (Jack, Queen, and King) are worth 11, 12 and 13. An Ace is worth one.

Since a King is already worth 13, you can take it away by itself, without finding a match. Each time you clear a pair or a King you will receive 10 points, and addi- tional BONUS points are won for consecutive matches.

Let’s begin:

Turn the unit on by pressing the ON button. To start a new game, press and hold the NEW GAME button and the unit will automatically shuffle and deal 28 cards into the shape of a Pyramid. Once this is completed, the remaining cards will be placed face-up into your STOCK pile.

Note: The screen only displays two of the seven rows of the Pyramid. To climb up or down the Pyramid, press the SELECT button to toggle and display the dif- ferent rows.

To SELECT card pairs, toggle up, down, left, or right with the SELECT button. To quickly move to the STOCK or WASTE pile, press between the top and right side of the button. If you want to quickly move to the lower portion of the Pyramid, press between the bottom and left side of the SELECT button.

The SELECT button will allow you to highlight one card at a time. If you’re pairing a card with another, you SELECT or highlight the first card by pressing ENTER. This card will be paired with the next card you choose, by pressing SELECT and ENTER. If the card(s) you have SELECTED is a King or equal to 13, these cards will be removed from the Pyramid. If they are not valid, the unit will flash INVALID and play will continue. Continue removing card pairs until the Pyramid is clear. If you cannot match any more cards, the game is over. To start a new game, press the NEW or DEAL button.
