How to play TriPeaks Solitaire

TriPeaks is a fast solitaire built on three overlapping peaks of cards. You clear them by playing cards one rank above or below the card on the waste pile, chaining long runs for a bigger score.

The layout

Twenty-eight cards form three peaks over a shared bottom row of ten. The other 23 cards are the stock, with one already turned to the waste.

Legal plays

Any uncovered card that is one rank higher or lower than the waste top can be played onto it. Suit never matters, and aces connect to both kings and twos.

Streaks

Each card played without turning the stock lengthens your streak and is worth more than the last, so long chains are where the score comes from.

Winning

Clear all 28 tableau cards to win. Turn a stock card whenever you are stuck; when the stock runs out and nothing plays, the deal is over.

Tips from the table

  • Before playing, look for the chain that unblocks the most covered cards rather than the longest one.
  • Dig into the peaks early — the bottom row stays available far longer.
  • Keep both a higher and a lower option open so a bad stock card doesn't end your streak.
  • Save an easy match for after the next stock turn to restart a chain quickly.
