Christmas Tree Solitaire

📝 Special Statement

Hark, Yuletide Strategist! You are not playing a simple solitaire game; you are the designated Santa's Solitaire Savior, tasked with dismantling the magnificent, card-laden Christmas Pyramid of Power! 🎄🎅

The Great Yuletide Countdown: Dismantling the Pyramid

You stand before the shimmering, multi-tiered Christmas Tree, a monument built not of tinsel, but of $52$ sacred cards! This is a festive, frantic race against the midnight clock of Christmas Eve! Your grand, singular objective is to clear every last card from the Pyramid of Power before the holiday magic fades. This is a game of visual acuity and rapid arithmetic, blending the contemplative focus of a Solitaire Master with the joyous spirit of the season! 🌟🎁

The Sacred Sum of Thirteen: The Rule of the Holy Union

The core of your mystical power lies in the Sacred Sum of Thirteen! To remove any card from the pyramid, you must execute a Holy Union, swiftly pairing two Free Cards—those not obstructed by any card below them—whose numerical values ADD UP to exactly 13!

• The Numbered Cards (2 through 10) carry their face value, leading to pairings like the 7 of Sleigh Bells and the 6 of Snowflakes!
• The Jack of Joy is worth 11, pairing perfectly with the 2 of Presents!
• The Queen of Cheer is worth 12, demanding the Ace of Angels (worth 1) to complete the holy sum!
• The King of Kindness, valued at 13, is so regal and complete that he is removed solo—a powerful, autonomous action that clears space instantly! 👑

The Gift of the Deck and the Stakes

Your reserve of unplayed cards, the Gift Deck at the bottom, acts as your lifeline. Flip through these cards to discover the missing half of your Holy Unions! Every successful pairing causes the cards to VANISH in a flash of festive light, revealing the next layer of the Christmas Pyramid. Fail to find a valid pair, and the cards remain stubbornly frozen, blocking your access to the lower tiers! Only by masterfully maneuvering through the decks and calculating the Sacred Sum of Thirteen flawlessly will you successfully dismantle the entire Christmas Pyramid and save the spirit of the holiday! Go forth, Santa's Solitaire Savior, and make the perfect match! 🕯️❄️🏆
