Tingly Pyramid Solitaire Game

Tingly Pyramid Solitaire, from Dutch browser-game studio CoolGames, swaps the usual suits-and-sequences solitaire rules for simple arithmetic: every card you clear is half of a pair that adds up to thirteen, or a King removed on its own. The 28 cards start stacked into a pyramid, each row partly covering the row above it, and a card only becomes playable once nothing from below is still overlapping it.

A round moves fast once the pattern clicks: pick two exposed cards whose values sum to 13 — a Jack (11) with a 2, an 8 with a 5, a 9 with a 4 — and they clear together, with Aces always counting as 1. Kings are worth the full 13 by themselves, so they clear with a single click. Work the bottom rows down first and the pyramid opens up row by row until the table is empty.

Controls

• Click or tap two exposed cards that add up to 13 to remove them as a pair.
• Click or tap a King on its own to remove it — Kings count as 13 and never need a partner.
• Pick a 2-, 3-, or 4-pile layout before you start for an easier or harder pyramid.

Tips

• Clear the bottom row first — it's the only thing standing between you and the cards stacked above it.
• Before pairing off two small cards, check whether a different pairing would free up a buried card instead.
• Hunt for Kings early — they clear for free without costing you a matching card.

It suits a short break more than a long session: each pyramid is small enough to clear, or run out of moves on, in just a few minutes.
