TriPeaks Solitaire
Play cards one higher or lower and clear all three peaks.
About TriPeaks
TriPeaks Solitaire is a fast, satisfying game. Twenty eight cards are laid out in three overlapping peaks, and you clear them by playing a card that is one rank higher or one rank lower than the card beside the stock. Long chains of cards score more points, so the game rewards careful planning as well as speed.
How to play TriPeaks
- Click a free card on the peaks that is one higher or one lower than the card beside the stock. It moves there and becomes the new card to follow.
- A card is free when no other card overlaps it.
- When no card fits, click the stock to turn the next card. The stock is used once only.
- In Easy and Medium, king and ace connect, so you can play an ace on a king and a king on an ace.
- Clear all 28 cards from the peaks to win. The game ends when the peaks are clear, or when the stock is empty and no card fits.
Tips for TriPeaks
Look for the longest chain
Before you play, look for a sequence such as 7, 8, 9, 8, 7 that clears many cards in a row.
Play the card that uncovers more cards
When two cards fit, choose the one that sets free the most cards below it.
Save the stock
Every card you turn from the stock ends your run and lowers your score.
Clear a peak from the top down
Opening one peak fully gives you more choices than opening a little of each.
Use the face up cards to plan
On Easy every card is face up, so you can plan the whole game before you play.
TriPeaks levels
- TriPeaks Easy
Easy TriPeaks shows every card face up, so you can plan the whole game from the first move. King and ace connect. - TriPeaks Medium
Medium TriPeaks is the classic game. Covered cards stay face down until you uncover them, and king and ace connect. - TriPeaks Hard
Hard TriPeaks keeps the covered cards face down and removes the link between king and ace. Kings and aces become dead ends, so a game can stall quickly. - TriPeaks Near impossible
Near impossible TriPeaks uses the Hard rules on deals that were won in very few attempts.
Questions about TriPeaks
What does one higher or lower mean?
If the card beside the stock is a 7, you may play a 6 or an 8. The suit does not matter.
Do king and ace connect?
On Easy and Medium they do, so a king can be followed by an ace and an ace by a king. On Hard they do not, which makes the game much tougher.
Can TriPeaks always be won?
No. Some deals cannot be won. The Near impossible level uses deals that have each been won at least once.
How is the score worked out?
Each card you clear in a row is worth more than the one before it, so long chains score best. Turning a card from the stock ends the run.
Is TriPeaks free here?
Yes. It is free and needs no registration.
