When you're playing Pyramid Solitaire you're trying to match up two cards that have a total value of 13. Pairs of cards that add up to 13 are Queen and Ace, or Jack and 2. When you pair the cards up you remove them from the game, and your goal is to get rid of all the cards in the Pyramid. You can remove the King by itself without pairing it with anything. You have a row of cards below the pyarmid that don't need to be removed to win the game, so generally you want to hold on to them. There is also a deck of cards that you can deal from and use to match with cards in they pyramid. To win the game remove all the cards in the Pyramid.
