The treasure hunting storyline behind Pyramid Solitaire Saga offers rich and exotic graphics that immerse players in the wonders of ancient Egyptian culture, with 140 captivating levels that are not to be missed.

Throughout Pyramid Solitaire Saga, players are transported to magical new worlds with the treasure hunter, Helena, and her cunning gerbil companion, Kingsley, to discover ancient Egypt.
