Thank you for playing! This update includes performance optimizations to improve stability.
Pyramid Solitaire is a polished and visually soothing take on one of the more challenging solitaire variants. As an expert in card games, I find the math-based matching (pairs that sum to 13) to be a great way to keep the brain engaged without the heavy commitment of a full strategy RPG. The difficulty in Pyramid comes from the limited deck re-shuffles, making every choice about which card to uncover first vital.
The app's design is exceptionally clean, featuring high-contrast card faces and smooth animations that make long play sessions easy on the eyes. I particularly enjoyed the daily challenges, which provide specific board states that are guaranteed to be winnable—a nice touch given that random Pyramid deals can occasionally be impossible. It’s a classic, reliable solitaire app that focuses on a premium user experience rather than cluttering the screen with ads or unneeded gimmicks.
Addictive sum-to-13 matching mechanics
Daily challenges with global rankings
Stunning card themes and backgrounds
Detailed personal statistics and tracking
Always match cards from the pyramid before using your draw pile. Uncovering the base of the pyramid is the only way to reach the cards at the top, so plan your matches to reveal the most cards possible with a single move.
The game features a 'Winnable Mode' which ensures that every deal has at least one mathematical solution. Use the 'Undo' button freely to explore different matching paths if you reach a dead end.
In Pyramid Solitaire, Kings are worth 13 points and can be cleared from the board with a single tap without needing a pair.
-The "Dancing Dude" is my FAVORITE graphic! Please don't fade him out. He doesn't seem to show up much any more. -My dad taught me this game when I was a very young child. Using real cards is aggravating because of all the shuffling and dealing. Playing this game saves all that letting one play more games. -There is another + to this game: the single card reveal. I was taught that like other solitaire games if you want to go through the deck more than once you turn 3 @ a time. If you turn 1 at a time there's only 1 shot at the deck reveal. However, more games are won the way your game is set up. -The ad between each game is annoying. No matter how many times the "X" is tapped the ad continues and often causes a blank white screen that won't go away. It may take hours to be able to play another game. Is an add between every single game necessary? -This game times out/goes to a white screen a LOT.
Have been a loooong time subscriber to this MobilityWare Pyramid game. Love it. Play it every day. In recent weeks I’ve noticed that there is a delay between when a new game opens until the first card can be played. I’ve used a stop watch to time it multiple times. 24 seconds. There’s a 24 second delay before the first card can be played when a game opens! This only happens on my iPad, which is up to date with the current iPad OS. It does not happen with my other MobilityWare games on the iPad. Why 24 seconds? Would that be the space of time for ads to run, so with my paying not to see the ads, I still have to deal with a delay to play? 24 seconds is very frustrating. I love the game. I hope there is a fix soon. Thank you.
Mobility has some of the best games available and I enjoy playing a little everyday. That being said don’t waste your time downloading them if you don’t want to spend more time getting out of their over abundance of ads than you spend playing the games. The amount of ads has increased dramatically over the last year and often pop up in the middle of a game. I have three of their solitaire games and have noticed the increase in ads in all three Update: After receiving your response I can only add that you have still doubled or tripled the number of ads in the last year are so and they often pop up during the game itself. Say what you want but they are also more time consuming and harder to get out of.
This game only has one ad between games that only lasts for five seconds - amazing! Some of the games are easier to win and others are harder (even un-winnable), which I think would be normal. I don’t feel like the computer rigs the deck, like some other games. Another bonus is that it doesn’t use much power when you play!! I haven’t tried other MobilityWare games, but I would sure like to! ———————————————————- I agree! Game is great with very few ads! Before I begin, I look through the numbers to see what must be played with certain cards in the pyramid or deck. Of course, I miss some!! Although sometimes tricky, I have been able to win every game, even if it takes a number of tries.
I am still loving this game. But it keeps crashing! I have deleted it and re-installed it and it still crashes. It's only doing it on my I pad and not on my phone! I will go back if I see signs that this has been addressed! This is my second review and still love love love it! It has the flexibility to play the whole deck as well! You won't be sorry for getting this addition to your solitaire games!!! This game is clean clear and is really like real for the deal! I can't imagine how many cards I would have shuffle and deal again with no finish! But this makes "13" so much fun!! Really I am hard critic and I will go back at times and update my reviews! It's a ton more fun than dealing unless your winning $$$ then all of its fun!
So, the developers really do pay attention to these reviews! Thanks so much. I really hated a new feature (teams) and wrote the one star review below. I was emailed not long after the review, thanking me for my feedback, and mandatory teams are now gone! This is my absolute favorite game, I am back to playing it everyday. The daily goals are fun, gameplay is well executed, and the rotating and seasonal backgrounds are also fun. Great job, keep it up! *(This used to be my go to Solitaire, played it every day. Now I have to join a team to play!? Forget it, I’m now done. I’ll check back a few times to see if they get rid of teams, but if they’re going to insist that I can’t just play the game, I’m done. No to teams!!!)*
I love this game & I understand the need for ads but the ones now are terrible. You cannot exit them after a few seconds. They will just keep playing add after add for several minutes or the ad stops & you can’t do anything to get rid of it. I just had an add this morning that did the freeze thing. It is now 5 hours later & the only way I could get rid of the add so I could play the game was restart my phone. You need to get rid of those ads. That’s the only adds I have been seeing for quite a while. If the adds continue I will just delete the game & play something else. Please fix this problem
I’ve had this game on my iPad for about 3 years and enjoyed it, despite the ads. Most of those ads stopped after after two to three presses of the arrow in upper left. Then comes Royal Match! It is the most obnoxious ad possible. An inane game which takes 6-7 presses of the arrows and the Done button on the pop ad app page. I do not like paying for games and must suffer the smaller ads. Royal Match is the only ad that takes only 4 presses to get rid of. That is at least a small improvement, though most ads on this game take 2-3 to delete. All in all it is a great game to play, especially when waiting in line anywhere!
