Pyramid Solitaire

Clear the pyramid by pairing exposed cards that add to 13. Kings come out alone. Draw from the stock when you need another card, then recycle the waste within the redeal rule you choose.

Use each exposed pair once it totals 13; a king can be removed alone. Choose how many times the waste may return to the stock. A new deal is shuffled locally and may not be solvable.
