Solitaire 13 with Leaderboards

Solitaire 13,also known as Pyramid Solitaire, is a challenging, fast-paced card game which is easy to learn and fun to play! Now you may post your high scores to Leaderboards, for all the world to see!

The object of the game is to eliminate cards from the board by pairing cards whose values sum to 13. Note that Kings may be removed without being paired with another card, because Kings have value of 13 by themselves.

Card values are as follows: Numbered cards are worth their face value, Jacks are worth 11, Queens are worth 12, and Kings are worth 13. Therefore you must pair Jacks with Two's and Queens with Aces to remove them. Aces are always low (i.e. value of 1).

To start the game, click on 2 pyramid cards that sum to 13, or a draw card and a pyramid card that sum to 13. If no such cards are available, clicking on the draw card a second time moves it to the Waste pile. Waste pile cards may also be paired with any other card on the board and removed if the sum of the 2 cards equals 13. Clicking a non-King card once highlights the card; clicking a highlighted card again will unhighlight it or move it to the Waste if it is in the Draw. Clicking a King once removes it.

A game consists of 3 rounds, although you may click "New Game" any time to start a new game.

Each card removed scores 10 points, except each King removed scores 20 points. Therefore, removing 2 cards that sum to 13 increases your score by 20 points, and removing a King is also worth 20 points. Clearing an entire pyramid is worth 250 bonus points times the round number.

Therefore, the bonus points are awarded as follows:

250 bonus points for clearing all cards from the pyramid in Round 1
500 bonus points for clearing all cards from the pyramid in Round 2
750 bonus points for clearing all cards from the pyramid in Round 3

You may post your score when you have no further cards to remove in the 3rd round.
