-[[Image:Pyramids winner.gif|frame|Game completion image.]]'''Pyramids''' is a web-based [[card game]] in the [[Lost Desert]]. It appears to be inspired by a form of [[Wikipedia:Pyramid (solitaire)|solitaire]] of the same name, which is somewhat similar in appearance except it is played considerably differently.
-Each game costs 50 [[NP]], and a user can continue playing until they win a total of 5000 NP. After this, they can continue playing for free, and their game points will accumulate, but they will not earn any further [[NP]].
-==Layout==
-In Pyramids, there is an seven-tiered triangle formed from playing cards. They are arranged so that each tier has one more card than the previous. There are two stacks of cards outside of the triangle - the stack, which is face-down, and the target card, which is face-up.
-To start with, only the lower tier of cards is visible - the others are face down.
-==How to play==
-The object of the game is to remove all the cards from the pyramid. A card can be taken from the pyramid if it is face-up, and is either one higher or one lower than the current target card - aces are both high and low. When it is taken, it is placed on top of the target stack and becomes the new target card.
-The top card of the face-down stack can be placed on top of the target stack for a new target card. There are only 23 cards in the face-down stack, and the stack is not replenished through the game. If the game comes to a point where the face-down stack is empty, and no visible card is one higher or one lower than the target card, then the game ends.
-When two adjacent cards are removed from the triangle, the card above, which has no cards from the lower tier on top of it, is turned face-up, and must also be removed.
-==Scoring==
-[[Image:Pyramids trophies.png|left|frame|Trophies available from Pyramids. Top Row: High Score Trophies, Bottom Row: No. Wins Trophies.]]
-Points are scored by removing cards from the pyramid. The more cards that are removed consecutively, without drawing a new target card, the more points each removal earns. If the entire pyramid is cleared, 500 bonus points are acquired.
-The bonus points accumulate to form a player's high score at the end of each game.
-Every three months, the accumulated scores are wiped.
-===Trophies===
-There are two sets of trophies that can be earned from playing. There is the standard high score trophy, as well as a set of three trophies for the number of wins - completely clearing the pyramid - a player has. A bronze trophy is earned at two wins, a silver for five and a gold for two consecutive wins.
