SolitaireTriPeaks Solitaire at a glance
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.
Rules and objective
- Play any uncovered board card that is one rank above or below the waste's top card.
- Rank order wraps around: King–Ace–2 are all neighbours.
- Face-down cards flip as soon as the cards covering them are gone.
- Stuck? Click the stock for a fresh waste card, but this resets your streak.
- Clear all 28 board cards to win; leftover stock cards add a bonus.
The table enforces legal moves and saves the current deal in this browser. Hints identify a move that is available now; they do not guarantee that the deal can still be won.
Strategy: how to play better
- Before playing, count the chain: a 6 can take 7-8-9 in one run if they are open. Longest chain first.
- Favour cards that uncover peaks over cards that merely continue along the bottom.
- The stock is limited and kills your streak. Treat each draw as a small defeat.
Frequently asked questions
Does the rank order wrap around in TriPeaks?
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.
How does TriPeaks scoring work?
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.
What happens when the stock runs out?
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.
