How to play TriPeaks Solitaire
28 cards are dealt into three overlapping peaks. Only the bottom row starts face up. One card goes face up on the pile at the bottom, and the other 23 cards make the stock.
- Tap a face-up card that is one rank higher or one lower than the top card of the pile. It moves onto the pile and becomes the new top card. Suit and colour do not matter.
- A card turns face up when both cards covering it have been played.
- When you have no move, tap the stock to turn over a new pile card.
- Clear every card from the three peaks to win. If the stock runs out and no card can be played, the game is over.
With King and Ace connect turned on (the default), you can play an Ace on a King and a King on an Ace, so runs can go round the corner: Q, K, A, 2.
Scoring and streaks
| What you do | Points |
|---|---|
| Play a card | 100 × your streak (the 1st card in a streak scores 100, the 5th scores 500) |
| Clear the top of a peak | 1,000 for each of the first two, 5,000 for the last one |
| Win with cards left in the stock | 250 for each card left |
| Turn over a stock card | Your streak resets to 0 |
Winnable deals
Every game has a deal number. With Winnable deals only turned on, the game checks each new deal with a solver before you see it and only gives you deals that can be cleared. Use Replay to play the same deal again and beat your score. Turn the option off for completely random deals, some of which cannot be won.
TriPeaks tips
- Look ahead before you tap. If you can play a 7 or a 9 on an 8, pick the one that keeps your streak going longest.
- Free face-down cards first. A card that uncovers a hidden card is usually the best move, because it gives you new options.
- Work on all three peaks. Clearing one peak while the others stay buried leaves you with few playable cards.
- Don't rush to the stock. Every stock card ends your streak, so play every card you can first.
Controls
Tap or click a card to play it, and tap the stock to turn a card. On a keyboard, press Space to turn a stock card, U or Ctrl+Z to undo and H for a hint.
