Solitaire Rules
Traditionally a game for just one player, online you can play against others by trying to get the highest possible score. There are countless different versions of Solitaire but all share the common goal of getting rid of a pile of cards by matching them with other cards. One example of a type of Solitaire is GameAccount's "Pyramind Solitaire", and that is the one that will be described here.
The object of this online pyramid solitaire game is to click on cards that add up to 13. All of the number cards are worth their number. The Jack, Queen and King are worth 11, 12 and 13 respectively. An Ace is worth 1. You can only select cards that are completely uncovered. You can also select a card from the deck. You also have a 'crib' from which to pick. When you select cards that equal 13 (lika a Jack and a 2), they are taken away and you get points. Since a King is already worth 13, you can take it away by itself, without matching it. You get points for every card that you take away from the pyramid. You also get points for removing cards from the crib. You get more points for cards higher up the pyramid. You can only go through the deck once per hand. You have 3 hands to get a top score. When you have exhausted all your options, click the 'Next Hand' button to deal a new deck. When all 3 hands are done click the post score button to post your score - any time remaining is used to determine the winner in the event of a tie. There is a 1000 point bonus for clearing all of the cards in the pyramid. (You can press the space bar to flip cards).
