Play TriPeaks Solitaire for Free Online
TriPeaks Solitaire is a fast solitaire clearing game where every move tries to extend a one-rank-up or one-rank-down chain. The playable version above uses three peaks, a stock and waste pile, Ace-King wraparound, undo, saved progress, and mobile-friendly controls.
Objective
The objective is to clear all three peaks by moving exposed cards to the waste pile when they are one rank higher or lower than the current waste card.
Setup and Play Area
- TriPeaks Solitaire uses one standard 52-card deck with no jokers.
- Twenty-eight cards form three overlapping peaks, with only the bottom row exposed at the start.
- One card starts the waste pile, and the remaining cards form the stock.
- Suits and colors do not matter.
- In this version, Ace and King connect, so King-Ace-2 or 2-Ace-King chains are legal.
Available Moves
- Play an exposed peak card to the waste if it is one rank higher or one rank lower than the waste card.
- Use Ace-King wraparound when it extends a chain.
- Draw from the stock when no exposed peak card is playable.
- Clearing a card can uncover cards above it, creating new playable options.
- Win by clearing every card from the three peaks before the stock runs out.
TriPeaks Solitaire Strategy
- Preserve long up-and-down runs before drawing from the stock.
- Choose the playable card that exposes the most covered cards, not always the first legal card.
- Use Ace-King wraparound to extend streaks when it opens another peak card.
- Avoid clearing isolated easy cards if they break a longer chain that could remove several cards.
- Before drawing, scan all three peaks for a play that changes the waste card into a stronger rank.
Variants
- Some TriPeaks rules score streaks heavily, while this page keeps the focus on clearing the peaks.
- Some tables do not allow Ace-King wraparound. CardGamesHQ allows it for smoother chains.
- Golf Solitaire is the closest related game because it uses the same one-rank-higher-or-lower idea with a different layout.

Do suits matter in TriPeaks Solitaire?
No. Only rank matters. A playable card must be one rank higher or lower than the waste card.
What is the best first move in TriPeaks?
The best first move usually starts a chain or uncovers the most covered cards, rather than simply taking the first visible match.
