Frequently Asked Questions about Tri-Peaks Solitaire
How do I play Tri-Peaks Solitaire?
Remove cards from three overlapping pyramid peaks by clicking face-up cards that are exactly one rank higher or lower than the top card on the waste pile. For example, if the waste shows a 7, you can play a 6 or an 8. Wrapping is allowed, so a King can be played on an Ace and vice versa. Draw from the stock pile when no moves are available.
What is the scoring in Tri-Peaks Solitaire?
You earn points for each card removed from the peaks. Consecutive removals without drawing from the stock build a streak bonus that increases your points per card. The longer your streak, the higher the bonus. Try to chain as many removals as possible before drawing!
Can King wrap to Ace in Tri-Peaks Solitaire?
Yes! In Tri-Peaks Solitaire, King and Ace are considered adjacent ranks. You can play a King on an Ace or an Ace on a King. This wrapping rule gives you more options to build long streaks.
How many cards are in the peaks?
There are 28 cards arranged in three overlapping peaks. Each peak has 4 rows: 1 card on top, then 2, 3, and 4 cards in each subsequent row. The remaining 24 cards form the stock/draw pile.
Is Tri-Peaks Solitaire free to play?

What happens when I get stuck in Tri-Peaks?
Click the stock pile to draw a new card to the waste pile. This gives you a new card to match against. If the stock is empty and no more moves are available, the game is over. Use the Undo button to go back and try different strategies!
Tri-Peaks Solitaire is a beloved card game featuring three overlapping pyramids of face-down and face-up cards. The goal is to clear all 28 cards from the peaks by removing cards that are exactly one rank higher or lower than the top card of the waste pile. King wraps to Ace and vice versa, giving you additional strategic options. Consecutive removals build a streak bonus that multiplies your score, rewarding long chains of picks without drawing from the stock pile. The combination of accessible rules and deep streak-chasing strategy has made Tri-Peaks one of the most popular solitaire variants worldwide. PlayBrain features undo support so you can experiment with different removal orders. Each deal is winnable with the right sequence, so persistence and planning pay off.
