Pyramid moves quickly, but the best pair is the one that exposes the future rather than the first one you notice.

Open the most cards

When several pairs are available, prefer the pair that uncovers two new cards or releases a blocked lane.

Remove blocking kings

A king leaves alone. Take it immediately when it covers useful cards.

Use the stock patiently

Before drawing again, check whether the waste card pairs with a card that is about to become exposed.

Keep in mind

  • Choose pairs that expose cards.
  • Remove blocking kings.
  • Track useful stock cards across three passes.
