Pyramid vs Tri-Peaks
Pyramid asks you to remove pairs of uncovered cards that add up to 13: an Ace and a Queen, a 6 and a 7, and so on, with Kings removed on their own. Everything depends on finding the right partner, and you can choose how many times you may go through the stock.
TriPeaks has three overlapping peaks, and you play a card that is one rank higher or lower than the top of the waste. Suits do not matter, and you score more for a long chain without drawing from the stock. It plays quickly and feels more like a streak game.
