Making your first moves in Pyramid Solitaire
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
