TriPeaks Solitaire · Rules
Three small peaks, a draw stock and an exposed waste card make up the layout.
Objective
Clear all 28 cards from three overlapping peaks.
Deal and setup
Three small peaks, a draw stock and an exposed waste card make up the layout.
How to play — step by step
- Remove all 28 cards from the three peaks. Move an uncovered face-up card onto the waste if it is one rank higher or lower, regardless of suit. You may disable king–ace wrapping before dealing.
- First free a covered card by removing both cards below it. Then click to turn it over manually; it will not flip itself. Click again to play it if its rank connects to the waste.
- Click the stock when you need another rank. Draw one at a time; the waste is not recycled. Clear all peaks to win. With an empty stock and no move, the game ends. Your score is the number of table cards removed.
Important rules to remember
Play example
If the waste shows a seven, play an exposed six or eight. A buried card is not playable until its covering cards are removed.
