Pyramid is one of the most popular solitaire card games because of its simple rules and fast gameplay, and this online version of the game offers some interesting features that make it especially compelling.

How To Play

The object of the game is to remove all the cards from the pyramid by selecting pairs of cards that add up to 13.

Aces count as 1, Jacks as 11 and Queens as 12. Kings count as 13 and can be removed on their own. All other cards count as their face value.

Here are all the combinations that add up to 13:

• K
• Q-A
• J-2
• 10-3
• 9-4
• 8-5
• 7-6

There are two unique innovations that make this version of pyramid solitaire one of the best:

1. There is a "Temp Card Store" which you can use as temporary storage for a single card. This adds a great deal of flexibility to the gameplay, increases the strategy, and improves your odds of winning.
2. The gameplay is progressive -- as long as you keep winning, your score keeps accumulating, allowing you to rack up a huge bonus!

In addition, the game keeps a high-score list, and there are various bonuses available, from a time bonus (the faster you complete the pyramid, the higher your bonus) to a bonus for using all the deck.

Add in some great graphics and fun sound effects, and you have a winner. Enjoy!

These Bridge Gift Sets contain everything you need to host a bridge party, including Bridge Playing Cards, Bridge Tallies, and Bridge Score Pads, all packaged in a compact box for easy storage.

Liven up your next game of bridge with these unique and beautiful packages, and save money by purchasing the whole set, and enjoy the attractive, coordinated graphics on each component of the set. The perfect gift for discriminating bridge players.

In The Complete Hoyle's Games Lawrence H. Dawson called Whist "the venerable parent of all games played with the full pack". It is a direct antecedent of Bridge (as well as a great many other games), and at one time it was the "foremost intellectual and social card game of its day, a great game due to the fact that it has extremely simple rules of play, yet can give rise to considerable depth of skill" (David Parlett in Tech Yourself Card Games).

Whist is played with four players, arranged as two partnerships of two players each, with partners sitting opposite each other around the card table. Each player is dealt thirteen cards, from a standard deck of fifty-two playing cards. The last card is turned face-up, and determines the "trump". This card is then picked up and added to the dealer's hand, as his final card.

The player to the dealer's left plays first, with turn passing clockwise around the table, with each players following in suit if he can. The goal is for a partnership to win as many of the thirteen hands as possible, by playing the highest card of the initial suit, or the highest trump suit. In Whist, cards are ranked A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (low).

Each team earns point for tricks taken in excess of six. For example, if a partnership win seven tricks, and their opponents win six, then one point is scored. Games are usually played to five points (called "Short Whist") or 10 points ("Long Whist"). In "American Whist", a game is seven points, allowing a game to be won with just one perfect round.

Some versions of the game allow teams to score points for an honors held at the end of the round by the partnership. An "honor" (or "honour") is earned when partners hold all four of the top trumps (A-K-Q-J), and nets a bonus of four points. Holding three of the four top trumps earns a bonus of two points.

A Note About Skill Games

The legislation passed by the United States congress on September 30, 2006 (H.R.4411, the "Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006" Sec. 5362) defines illegal betting or wagering as including "the purchase of a chance or opportunity to win a lottery or other prize (which opportunity to win is predominantly subject to chance)".

In contrast to games of chance (such as bingo, slots, and other casino games), these online game sites provide skill games, in which the outcome of the game, is predominantly due not to chance, but to an individual player's skill. Therefore, there's no gambling, wagering or betting involved when you play games of skill. The games provided by these online game sites are absolutely legal and safe to play. Enjoy!
