TriPeaks Solitaire
TriPeaks Solitaire lets you build nonstop card chains with adjacent ranks. Clear all three peaks, link Kings and Aces, and keep your streak alive.
Tripeaks Solitaire: Clear The Peaks, Keep The Chain Going
TriPeaks Solitaire turns the familiar solitaire format into a fast card-clearing puzzle. Instead of building traditional suit sequences, you remove exposed cards by connecting them to the current card in the discard pile.
- The goal is simple: clear all three peaks while making the most of every available move.
What Makes TriPeaks Solitaire Different?
The game revolves around one easy rule: the next card must be exactly one rank higher or lower than the card on the discard pile. Suits and colors do not matter, so your attention stays on the numbers and the cards you can uncover.
- ±1 Matching: Play a card one rank above or below the current discard card.
- Ignore Suits: Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades can all be connected.
- King-Ace Connection: Kings and Aces can link together, allowing chains to continue across the end of the rank sequence.
- Three Peaks: Clear the exposed cards to gradually uncover and remove the three mountain-shaped sections.
How To Play
Every move changes the card available for your next match, so building a long chain can clear much more of the board than making isolated plays.
- Check the Discard Pile: Use its top card to determine which tableau cards are currently playable.
- Find an Adjacent Rank: Select an exposed card that is one value higher or lower.
- Keep the Chain Alive: Look ahead before choosing between multiple playable cards.
- Reveal Hidden Cards: Remove overlapping cards to expose more of the peaks.
- Use the Stock: Draw a new card when no useful move remains on the tableau.
- Clear All Three Peaks: Continue removing cards until the entire board is cleared.
Smart Ways To Build Longer Chains
The strongest moves are not always the cards you can play immediately. When several options are available, look for the one that reveals another useful card or keeps your current streak going.
- Work From the Bottom: Clearing lower exposed cards can reveal more of the hidden layout.
- Watch Both Directions: A card can be one rank higher or lower than the discard card.
- Think Before Using Stock: Save stock cards while playable moves remain on the board.
- Use Undo: Try different sequences to discover a longer and more productive chain.
