How to Play TriPeaks Solitaire
Play TriPeaks Solitaire online for free, a version of the classic card game made by the CrazyArcade team that runs in your browser. Twenty-eight cards are dealt into three overlapping peaks in rows of 3, 6, 9 and 10. The bottom row of 10 starts face up, and every other card turns face up once both cards covering it have been removed. The remaining 24 cards form the stock, and the first of them is turned over to start the waste pile, so 23 cards are left to draw. Tap any uncovered face-up card that is one rank higher or lower than the top waste card to move it onto the waste. Ranks wrap by default, so a King plays on an Ace and an Ace plays on a King; you can switch wrapping off on the start screen. When nothing matches, tap the stock to turn a new waste card. The stock is not recycled, and the game ends when it is empty and no card can be played. Scoring rewards chains: each card you play in a row without drawing scores 10 times its place in the chain, so the first card gives 10, the second 20, the third 30 and so on, and drawing from the stock resets the chain to zero. Clearing the first two peak tops adds 150 points each, and clearing the whole board adds 500 points plus 20 for every card still in the stock. Classic mode is a single deal. Endless mode deals a fresh board each time you clear one and carries your score forward until you run out of moves. The side panel shows your score, best, chain and stock count. Undo takes back moves within the current deal, Hint highlights a playable card or the stock, and a game over screen appears when no moves remain, with options to undo or start again. Best scores are saved separately for each mode in your browser, along with your wrap setting.

Pro Tips to Win
- Look for runs before you play. A card that continues the chain is often better than one that only matches the current waste card.
- Prefer cards that uncover face-down cards, especially in the upper rows, so more options open up before the stock runs out.
- Every stock card left when you clear the board is worth 20 points, so avoid drawing while you still have a match.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a King be played on an Ace?
A: Yes. Ranks wrap by default, so King and Ace count as neighbors in both directions. You can turn wrapping off with the Wrap K-A button on the start screen.
Q: What is the difference between Classic and Endless?
A: Classic is one deal that you win by clearing all 28 cards. Endless deals a new board each time you clear one, keeps your score, and ends when the stock is empty and no card can be played.
Q: How does the chain scoring work?
A: Each card played in a row without drawing scores 10 times its position in the chain: 10, 20, 30 and so on. Drawing from the stock resets the chain to zero.
