- Some of the configurations of this game are unwinnable.
- Don’t worry too much if you don’t seem to win.
- See if you can remove many cards from the pyramid early in the game while using few cards from the reserves to maximize your play options & leave many available legal moves later into the game.
- Don’t be afraid to undo if you make a mistake.
- Look near the top of the pyramid to see which cards you may need to save for the end to pair with the top 3 cards.
- Whenever a card is directly atop its match you’ll need to pair both of them off with other cards that match.
- Try to pull cards from the pyramid and work on all parts of it in parallel.
- When a card in the Giza or reserves part of the tableau at the bottom has no cards underneath it try to use another card to make the play if possible to keep your play options open.
