Tri Peaks

Tri Peaks is the friendliest patience game there is. Twenty-eight cards stand in three overlapping peaks, only the ten along the base start face up, and the rule never changes: play any uncovered card that sits one rank above or below the card on the waste. A king follows an ace and an ace follows a king, so the ladder never really ends — it just loops. Take a card off and whatever it was hiding turns over, which is how a careful start can snowball into a run that eats a whole peak.

Runs are the whole game. The first card in a streak is worth a hundred, the second two hundred, the third three, and so on up, so a nine-card chain is worth more than nine separate cards by a mile. Drawing from the stock resets the count — twenty-four cards to spend, and every one you save is points in the bank at the end. Each peak you flatten pays a bonus of its own, and every deal is graded out of three stars, with your best score and a running count of solved deals kept in this browser.

There is a daily deal, seeded from the date, so everyone who sits down today gets the same three peaks and can compare their run. Shuffle a random one whenever you like, or leave the winnable-only switch on: those layouts are grown backwards from a finished game, so a clear is always hiding in there somewhere. Undo costs nothing but your streak, the playable cards glow softly so you never have to hunt, and nothing is ever on a timer — it is a game to relax into. Click, tap, or walk the arrow keys over the peaks and press Enter.

Tips for Tri Peaks

In Tri Peaks the points come from runs, so the aim is to play as many cards in a row as you can before you touch the stock. Each card in a streak is worth a hundred more than the one before, and drawing resets the count. Before you play, look at what each move will uncover: a card that turns over a new playable card keeps the run going, while one that reveals nothing useful may end it. Kings and aces connect, so the ladder can loop round.

Use the stock sparingly. You have twenty-four cards to draw, and every one still left at the end adds to your score. Flattening a peak pays its own bonus, so finish one off when you can. Undo costs nothing but your streak, and there is no timer, so take your time. Leave the winnable-only switch on while you learn, then try the daily deal.

How to play Tri Peaks

In Tri Peaks the goal is to clear all twenty-eight cards from three overlapping peaks before the stock runs dry. Only the ten cards along the base start face up. Beside the peaks lie the waste, where one card shows face up, and the stock of twenty-four cards you can draw from.

On each turn you play an uncovered card that is one rank above or below the card on the waste. A seven goes on a six or an eight, and because kings and aces connect, a king can follow an ace and an ace can follow a king. The card you play becomes the new waste card, and any card it was covering turns face up, so one move can open the next. When nothing on the peaks fits, you draw from the stock, which gives you a new waste card but ends your run. The deal is cleared when all three peaks are gone.

Scoring rewards long runs: the first card in a streak scores a hundred, the second two hundred, the third three hundred and so on. Each flattened peak pays a bonus, every stock card you did not use adds to your score, and each deal is graded out of three stars. There is no timer. On a computer you click a lit card, or move a marker over the free cards with the arrow keys and press Enter to play, D to draw, U to undo, P to pause and M to mute. On a phone or tablet you tap a lit card to play it and tap the stock to turn a new card.

About Tri Peaks

Tri Peaks is a solitaire card game, a game of patience you play alone with one deck, and one of the most relaxed in the family: a single rule, no suits to sort and no clock. Kiloo's Tri Peaks lays the three peaks out on green felt at a lodge table after dark, with a lamp overhead.

It suits players who want a calm game to unwind with, but the scoring gives it something to chase, because a long run is worth far more than the same cards played one at a time. The daily deal is seeded from the date, so everyone who plays that day gets the same three peaks and can compare their scores. You can also shuffle a random deal, or keep the winnable-only switch on so every layout is built backwards from a finished game and can always be cleared. Undo is free apart from your streak, the playable cards glow so you never have to hunt for them, and your best score and the number of deals you have solved are kept in the browser on your computer, tablet or phone.

Is every Tri Peaks deal winnable?

With the winnable-only switch on, yes: each layout is built backwards from a finished game, so a clear is always there to find. There is also a daily deal seeded from the date, which gives everyone the same three peaks that day.

How does scoring work in Tri Peaks?

The first card in a run scores a hundred, the second two hundred, the third three hundred and so on, and drawing from the stock starts the count again. Each flattened peak pays a bonus, unused stock cards add points, and every deal is graded out of three stars.

What are the rules of Tri Peaks?

In Tri Peaks you play any uncovered card that is one rank above or below the card on the waste, and kings and aces connect. When nothing fits, you draw a card from the stock. A card turns face up once nothing covers it, and the deal is cleared when all three peaks are gone.

Is there a timer in Tri Peaks?

No. Tri Peaks has no timer, so you can take as long as you like over each move. Your score comes from runs, flattened peaks and unused stock cards instead, and every deal is graded out of three stars.
