Remove cards one at a time or in pairs.Create a reserve pile with the left over cards.Note that some people play that you only use 21 cards to make the pyramid. Each row should overlap the row above it. until all 28 cards have been placed in the pyramid.
It should be stacked so that the rows are made of one card, then two cards, then three cards, etc. The object of the game is to remove all of the cards in the pyramid and reserve pile and place them in the discard pile by creating pairs that equal 13 in point value.
