TriPeaks is the fastest game on this site: three card peaks, one waste pile, and a single question repeated at speed — is anything one rank above or below my current card? Play any open card that is one step up or down from the waste (the order wraps, so an Ace sits next to both a King and a 2), and chain those steps into long runs.
Streaks are the whole game. Every card played without breaking the chain is worth more than the last, so a bold line that keeps a run alive beats a safe card that ends it. Clear all three peaks to win.
Yes. An Ace can be played on a King or a 2, and a King on a Queen or an Ace. The circle never breaks.
Each consecutive card played is worth more than the one before it. Drawing from the stock resets the streak, so long unbroken chains are where big scores come from.
If no board card is playable and the stock is empty, the deal is over. Undo a few moves and hunt for a different line, or start a new game.
