TriPeaks FAQ
TriPeaks Solitaire FAQ
Answers to common questions about TriPeaks Solitaire.
What is TriPeaks Solitaire?
TriPeaks is a solitaire game with a distinctive three-peak card layout. Cards are arranged in 4 rows forming 3 overlapping peaks, with 28 cards in the peaks and 24 in the stock.
How is TriPeaks different from Pyramid?
While both involve clearing card pyramids, TriPeaks uses a different card-playing rule. In TriPeaks, cards must be one rank apart (ascending or descending) from the waste pile, not sum to a value.
What cards can I play from the peaks?
You can play cards that are exactly one rank higher or lower than the waste pile top card. For example, if the waste shows a 7, you can play a 6 or 8. Aces can wrap to Kings and vice versa.
When do face-down cards flip in the peaks?
Face-down cards automatically flip to face-up when both cards covering them are removed. This exposes new playable cards as you progress.
How does the stock work in TriPeaks?
Click the stock to draw one card to the waste pile. When the stock is empty, click it to recycle the waste pile (keeping the top waste card) back to the stock.
What is a streak in TriPeaks?
A streak is when you play consecutive cards without drawing from the stock. Longer streaks earn bonus points: 10 points base, plus 5 extra for each card in the streak beyond the first.
How do I clear all the peaks?
Clear peaks by playing cards in the correct rank order. Watch for opportunities to chain multiple cards. Streaks are key to high scores, so try to play several cards before drawing.
Can I undo moves in TriPeaks?
Yes, TriPeaks features unlimited undo. Click undo to reverse your last move and try a different approach if you get stuck.
How do I win at TriPeaks?
You win by removing all 28 cards from the peaks. Completing the game awards a 100-point bonus. The game is won when peaks are empty regardless of stock or waste.
What's the best strategy for TriPeaks?
Look for cards that can start long chains before playing them. Preserve waste cards that open multiple peak cards. Aim for streaks of 4+ cards to maximize your score.
