Relaxed Pyramid Strategy
In Relaxed Pyramid, tableau exposure is worth more than waste perfection.
Since the relaxed win condition centers on clearing the pyramid, speed of reveal usually beats meticulous waste cleanup. The strongest lines remove pairs that unlock two future branches, not just one legal card.

Strategic priorities
- Prioritize pairs that reveal two covered cards whenever possible.
- Use Kings immediately when they unlock blocked rows.
- Treat stock and waste as support tools, not your main plan.
- Protect high-flexibility complements for deep blockers.
- Re-evaluate middle-row branching after every major clear.
Common mistakes
- Over-managing waste order while the pyramid remains clogged.
- Spending flexible complements on low-impact surface clears.
- Choosing immediate removals that reduce future overlap options.
