TriPeaks Solitaire

TriPeaks Solitaire (also known as Tri Peaks or Triple Peaks) is a fast-paced solitaire card game where the goal is to clear three overlapping peaks of cards. Unlike Pyramid Solitaire which pairs cards to 13, TriPeaks lets you remove any available card that is one rank higher or lower than the current waste pile card — and ranks wrap around, so Kings connect to Aces.

How It Works

A standard 52-card deck is dealt into three peaks. The peaks share a base row of 10 face-up cards. Above the base, 18 cards are dealt face-down in three pyramid formations. Cards flip face-up when both cards covering them are removed. The remaining cards form the stock pile, with one card drawn to start the waste pile.

Click any available face-up card that is exactly one rank higher or lower than the waste pile top to play it. If no moves are available, click the stock to draw a new card. The game ends when all peaks are cleared (you win) or when no moves remain and the stock is empty.

Scoring & Streaks

TriPeaks features a streak-based scoring system. Each consecutive card you play without drawing from the stock increases your streak multiplier. The first card in a streak earns 1 point, the second earns 2, the third earns 3, and so on. Drawing from the stock resets the streak to zero. Building long chains of consecutive plays is the key to achieving high scores.

Tips for Winning

• Plan runs of cards to build long streaks for maximum points
• Prioritize uncovering peak tops — clearing a peak opens many cards
• Look for paths that alternate up and down through available cards
• Save stock draws for when you truly have no playable cards
• Remember that Kings and Aces connect — use wrapping to extend streaks
