I have the same question 3. Report abuse. In fact, it's prudent to move a playable card to the waste first.
Doing so may reveal a second playable card underneath or otherwise give you more information for forming you strategy. Feel free to match between the stock and the waste. Your aim is to match every card in the deck, and matches between the stock and waste are less likely to occur than matches to the tableau. You will have multiple chances to cycle through your stock to match with the tableau cards.
Continue the game until one of the two end conditions are met. For basic pyramid solitaire, the game is over when: You have matched and removed every card in the tableau, stock, and waste. This means you have won the game. You have gone through the deck moved all of the cards from the stock to the waste three times.
This means you have lost the game. Method 3. Play with a set of reserve cards. Start the game off with an extra row of six free face-up cards in reserve. These cards may be played at any time throughout the game. Keep in mind that the reserve row isn't replenished; you only get six reserve cards per game. Try using a reserve row if you're having trouble winning the basic game. Make tableaus of different shapes and sizes.
As you build your pyramid, try spacing out the cards differently to create new and unique patterns. You don't necessarily need a perfect pyramid to create a playable game.
You could also make a pyramid with essentially the same layout as the basic game but with an extra row, making the base eight cards wide. Limit yourself to a single pass through your stock. Only allow yourself to go through your stock once. Waste cards can never return to the stock, and the only way to go back through your waste is to match each top card. This adds a challenge to the game if you find yourself getting too good at it.

Please consider the following points when running a Pyramid Solitaire board.
When determining cards to choose: Always match match cards on the board alone at first without matching cards on the stock pile to cards above.
If you see a word that's unfamiliar to you, you can probably click it to see its definition. Now you're ready to start! Let's get a little terminology straight before we get going. There are three piles of cards in Golf, as well as the pyramid-shaped tableau. The piles are the stock , which starts out filled with all cards not in the tableau; the wastepile , where cards from the stock are dealt; and the discard pile, where matched pairs of cards are removed from play.
When playing with real cards, the discard wouldn't be a "pile"; you'd just toss the matched pairs aside, out of play. Because the rules allow cards to move from the stock to the wastepile and back a couple of times during the game, these two piles can sometimes be thought of as a single source of cards.
Here's a good tip before we even play a single card. In Solitaire Till Dawn, there's a checkbox under the stock and wastepile that controls whether the program will automatically discard matched pairs from the wastepile. By default, it's checked, so that matched pairs are automatically discarded. Turn it off! Even if you're not using Solitaire Till Dawn, you should control your urge to discard each pair the moment you see it.
In a little while we'll see why. By the way, the setting of the Auto-match checkbox doesn't matter when you're replaying a saved game. But it does matter when you're playing your own games! Your first move after turning off the checkbox should be to play a card from the stock onto the wastepile.
You can pick cards up from both the stock and the wastepile, so this move makes more cards available to you, and increases your choices and chances. In fact, make a habit of moving the stock card to the wastepile before playing it.
It can't hurt to see the next card under it before making your final decision about how to play it. You'll see us follow this habit throughout most of this game. After dealing the first card we're at move 1 , it's time to look over the tableau. The card we dealt was the 2 , and it could match the J.
Should we make the match? Pressing the 'j' key shows us that there are two Jacks and two 2's in the tableau, and neither of the tableau 2's is available to match the J.
Furthermore, the J is covering another Jack and a matching 2, and it would be good to free those up; so let's go ahead and make the match. The wastepile is empty now, so let's play another stock card and then examine the tableau again. We now have the 10 on the stock, and a couple of available 3's in the tableau. The 3 covers another 10, so that would be a good one to get rid of; at move 3 we do so. That move reveals a King on the stock which can be discarded immediately.
At move 5, our only option other than dealing is to match the 9 and 4 at the base of the pyramid. Should we do it? There are arguments for and against. In favor, we can see that discarding the 9 reveals the 10 and the J , which could in turn be immediately matched with an available 3 and 2.
Against, we have this valuable principle to consider: It's hard to discard from the stock. Occasionally, you'll get lucky and find a matched pair next to each other in the stock.
