The French word "solitaire" is translated as "patience". The first similar game appeared among the imprisoned enemies of Cardinal Mazarin and King Louis XIV. What else was left for the prisoners to do in the dungeons laid out of cold stone, how not to try to pass the time with the help of cards? In the future, solitaire became a favorite pastime of the ladies of the Rococo era, after which this game became popular throughout the rest of the world. And today she is no less loved.

With the development of technology, an electronic version of the game "Pyramid" (solitaire) has appeared. Consequently, it became possible to lay it out where it is convenient, even without a deck of cards. It is useful for our contemporaries, exhausted by economic upheavals and crises, to know the rules of this game. It is easy to explain this benefit - Pyramid solitaire calms the nerves. It uses a full playing deck of 52 cards. Jokers are removed. A deck of cards is shuffled - and from the top fifteen cards a figure resembling a pyramid is laid out (while these cards should be opened). In order for the solitaire "Pyramid" to be real, this figure must consist of 5 rows. Yes, front rowthere is 1 card, in the second - 2, and so on up to 5 cards in the last row. The remaining cards are set aside in a closed deck. They will later be needed to compensate for those that were taken out of the pyramid, as well as for their transfers

laying on descending or ascending ranks on initial cards.

Before you start playing Pyramid-Rug Solitaire, you first need to decide which cards to call basic. You should evaluate the laid out pyramid, and then mark 2, 3 or 4 times repeating cards of common value (for example, 2, 3 or 4 queens; 2, 3 or 4 sevens, and so on). These cards will be basic. It is on them that the remaining deck will be assembled. In ascending or descending order - this must be decided, also based on the cards lying in the pyramid. If you notice that you can take more cards from it for the ascending order, it will be exactly like that, and vice versa.

Next, when you lay out the solitaire "Pyramid", base cards are taken out of the deck, after which they are placed under the pyramid, on top of those that lay on them. Then empty spaces are filled in the pyramid with cards from the deck. Next, you need to see which cards can be put on top of the base ones, then the empty spaces that have arisen are filled.

When playing Pyramid Solitaire, there may come a moment when there are no empty spaces left in the pyramid. At the same time, there will also be nothing to put on the base cards. In this case, proceed as follows. You need to open one card at a time, as well as create an open deck. At the same time, her top cardshould be free to transfer. If there is an opportunity to take a card from the pyramid, this is done immediately. Free space must be closed with a card from the deck. At the same time, if you looked through the deck three times, but the solitaire still didn’t work out, try again.

There is also a complicated version of this solitaire, when aces are immediately determined by the base cards, while the sequence is increasing. At the very beginning of the game, all aces are taken out, after which they are placed under the pyramid.

The next option is when aces are not taken out of the deck in advance, but are taken directly from the pyramid. In such variations, it is much more difficult to win, the more joyful the moment of victory will be!
