About TriPeaks Solitaire

Clear three peaks of cards by playing a card one rank above or below the waste pile. Suits do not matter, and kings connect to aces. Build long runs before drawing from the stock.

How to play

Goal
Clear all 28 cards from the three peaks by playing cards one rank above or below the waste card.
How it ends
A deal is won when the peaks are clear; when the stock is spent and no card plays, the deal is stuck — restart it and find another line.
Record
The fastest first win of each deal, and its fewest moves.
  1. Play any open card that is one rank above or below the waste card, of any suit. King and Ace touch.
  2. A face-down card turns over when both cards lying on it are gone. Tap the stock for a new waste card; it goes round once.
  3. Clear all 28 cards from the three peaks. Stuck? Restart — the clock keeps running — and find another line.

Good to know

Each deal keeps a fastest time and a fewest-moves record, with holders' names; only a first win counts for time. The clock starts when the cards are dealt and never pauses. Progress and settings are saved in this browser.
