Players

• 1  player

Materials

• Deck of cards (Ace – 10)

Objective

• To remove the cards from the pyramid by “making ten” with two cards (you do not need 2 cards if you are using the 10)

How to Play

• Arrange your cards into a pyramid with 6 rows, with each row slightly overlapping the previous row.
• Remove two cards (except if it is a 10) that are completely uncovered that make a ten.
• When there is no option on the pyramid to make a ten then you flip over the top card off the deck until you can make a ten.
• If you go through the whole deck, then shuffle them up and continue to play.
• The game is over when you remove all the cards from your pyramid, or you cannot remove anymore cards from your pyramid.

Playing Example:

Example 1:

• The player removes the 10 from the pyramid (shown above)
• The player pairs the 7 and 3 to make a ten and removes them from the pyramid.
• The player must flip over the top card form the deck because there are no more ways to make a ten with the cards shown.
• The player flips over a 9 and makes a 10 with one of the aces.
