    In Pyramid just keep clicking 'New Game' until a King is at the top of pyramid then just play through as normal matching cards that add up to 13.

    TriPeaks is harder to force a King to the top as the cards start face-down. There are 3 chances on each board that a King will be on a peak so just hope you get one and leave him until last.

    Edit:
    (Unconfirmed) The TriPeaks king half can easily be completed by following this guide exaclty (credit to nickersy):

    OnzaIs there a way to check, i.e. is there a stat, to see if you have got half this done? have gotten half the requirements, but can't remember which one

    Thanks

    ZyGouNeTteDifficult to unlock.
    For me i search a pyramid game with king on top and finish it.
    Then i play tripeaks until i can finish with a king ( i manage to finish with the 3 cards on top at the same time) and it unlock.
    -No stats reset.
    -i do it on regular games, no daily challenge or packs

    OnzaWell I got lucky... I wasn't even going for it, and I unlocked it.

    psportalI can confirm that for TriPeaks, if you managed to pick out a King before the next board refresh regardless of whether or not there are other cards to pick out, it counts.

    ELpanda felizIn fact, you have to remove A King in Pyramid and TriPeaks. For the last one, the King must be the last card you remove from the last board.

    Bassie11Did the TriPeaks normal game easy variant and just finished with a king last, achievement popped right away, so I think the Pyramid version I had already...

    I ASK NO ONEI followed the video from the guide right after doing Pyramid and the achievement did not pop. It did pop for me doing both games straight from the home screen doing both on easy. I would suggest just doing easy games on both. Keep restarting on Pyramid to get a king at the top then finish it quick. TriPeaks can be done fast, just hope for a king to be the last card. If not, do it again. Only takes maybe 2 minutes.

    ACrtnShadeOfR3dBest method to have a closer to guarantee King at the top of Tri-Peaks. Refresh until there are no face cards at all, not even aces on the bottom row. This improves the odds greatly that face cards will fill the top. If you see any face cards at all even the first draw, refresh. Cards are an odds game. Gotta play the odds to your favor. ;) I got it to pop first try in thinking about it this way, if that clues you in to how much it increases the odds.

    zeldafanjtlI followed the video guide to get the Tri Peaks king and then got the king in a normal game of Pyramids, but didn't get the achievement. The video shows doing it in a Star Club challenge and I'm pretty sure challenges don't count.

    I later got a Tri Peaks king in a regular game and the achievement popped.
