        • Aces have a value of 1
        • Jacks have a value of 11
        • Queens have a value of 12
      • Kings are valued at 13 & can be removed by themselves with no need to pair them.
      • Matching pairs are: Ace-Queen, 2-Jack, 3-10, 4-9, 5-8, 6-7.
    • Only free cards can be removed.
      • Free cards have no cards on top of them.
      • You can match cards on the pyramid with each other.

    • Free cell
      • This game comes with a free cell which can be used to temporarily store a card.

  • Levels
    • The board layout is the same for all levels.
      • You beat the level by clearing all cards from the pyramid.
      • If you lose a level you can try again as this game offers unlimited continues.
    • This game has 10 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can go back and replay previously beat levels from the level select screen.
      • Your new score will only replace the old score if the new score is higher.
      • After you beat the final level you can’t go back and replay the prior levels, so if you scored poorly on a level you would want to replay it before playing the final level.
    • Level timers
      • You have 5 minutes to beat the first level.
      • Each subsequent level gives you 20 seconds less to beat it to where you must beat the final level in 2 minutes.
  • Tips
    • All cards on the pyramid are dealt face up, which makes it easy to map out a couple moves in advance to prevent yourself from getting stuck.
      • If you see a card on top of its match you will need to use the free cell or pair those cards with other cards to clear them.
    • Try to work on all parts of the pyramid at once rather than leaving a long stack on one side while working down the rest, so that you have many potential match options until you have few cards remaining.
    • If there are few cards remaining in the draw pile and you have lots of time left you can boost your score by pairing up those cards.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
      • You tend to score fewer points in later levels as you have less time-based points from the shorter time limit.
    • Each card you remove as part of a 13 is worth 50 points, for a maximum card-based score of 2,600 per level.
    • You score 15 points for each second you have remaining when you beat a level.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like Pyramid Solitaire card games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
