Chaining cards
A five plays on a four or a six. The sequence wraps, so a King plays on an Ace and back again — that wrap keeps long chains alive far more often than players expect.
TriPeaks Solitaire — chain the longest streak
TriPeaks lays out three overlapping peaks of cards and asks for one thing: take any free card that is one rank above or below the card on the waste pile. Suits never matter, so the whole game is about chaining.
Play TriPeaksScoring and streaks
Every card in an unbroken chain is worth more than the last, and clearing a full peak pays a bonus. Drawing from the stock breaks the streak and costs points, so each draw is a real decision.
Ending the round
Clear all three peaks to win. If the stock runs out with cards still on the board, the round ends — and the fewer cards left, the better your result.
Tips that actually help
- Scan for the longest available chain before you take the first obvious card.
- Spend cards that open peak tips before ones that only open flat rows.
- Save a wrap card (Ace or King) as a bridge when your chain is about to die.
- A draw that restarts a six-card streak beats a streak that ends in two.
Common questions
- Do suits matter in TriPeaks?
- No. Only rank matters — one above or one below the current waste card.
- Can an Ace follow a King?
- Yes. The ranks wrap in both directions in this version.
- How is the score calculated?
- Each consecutive card in a streak is worth more, a cleared peak adds a bonus, and every stock draw resets the streak.
