Pyramid

Pyramid is a video game in the puzzle genre developed by EM Software and published by EM Software originally released in 1992. It is currently playable on DOS.

Pyramid is an implementation of the classic card game 'Pyramid Solitaire'. The standard game is single player, but the tour mode can be played against the computer, another player or as a series of single games.

The player is presented with a Pyramid of twenty-eight cards. There is also a draw pile and a discard pile. Cards may be removed from the Pyramid and/or the draw and discard piles two at a time if they are completely face up and their face values add up to thirteen. A king counts as thirteen and can be removed by itself, a queen counts as twelve and can be removed if paired with an ace, a jack is paired with a deuce, a ten with a three and so on. If no card can be discarded, the top card of the discard pile can be replaced by a new card from the draw pile. The objective is to discard all cards from the Pyramid, from the deck and from the discard piles.

The game can be played in two modes, a single match mode or a tour mode. There is no score table or save game function, but the game plays a nice tune if the player gets a positive score.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
