TriPeaks is one of the simplest ways to play Solitaire. The goal is to clear all the cards from the tableau by selecting cards that are either one number higher or lower than the current card.

‍

At the start of the game, three overlapping pyramids (or “peaks”) are laid out. All cards are face-down except for the bottom row. You’ll also have a stockpile of face-up cards, starting with one visible card.

‍

Using the card from the stockpile as your base, you can remove any face-up card from the set up that is one rank higher or lower. For example, if your current card is a 3, you can remove either a 2 or a 4. The card you remove becomes the new base for your next move.

‍

Only cards that are fully uncovered (with no cards overlapping them) can be played. If you can’t make a move, you may draw a new card from the stockpile–but use it wisely! Once the stockpile is empty, you can’t reshuffle or reuse it.

‍

The game ends when all cards are cleared, or when you run out of moves.
