How to Play Pyramid Challenge** **--------------------------------** There are many variations of the game of Solitaire, Pyramid Challenge, also known as Tut's Tomb, is one variation. Each game round starts with twenty eight cards dealt face upwards to the board forming a pyramid. The remaining cards form the deck. The object of the game is to eliminate all 28 playing cards by playing off all the cards in pairs that add up to 13. Aces count as 1, jacks as 11, queens as 12, and kings as 13. Kings are removed alone. Only cards that are free, with no other cards on top of them, can be removed. As cards are removed, new cards become available for play. If you click on the 'DEAL' button, a card from the deck is placed on the top of the heap. A card at the top of the heap can be matched to free cards and removed, if the two cards add up to 13. The game is won if all 28 cards are removed from the board. **b.
