28 cards left in the peaks

How to play TriPeaks

In TriPeaks you clear three peaks of cards by playing them onto the waste pile, each card one rank higher or lower than the waste card. On this board all 28 peak cards are face-up from the start, so you can see every card and plan a long chain.

The rules in short

  1. 28 cards form three overlapping peaks. A card is playable once no other card overlaps it.
  2. Play a playable card if it is one rank above or below the top waste card. Suit and color do not matter.
  3. King and Ace connect, so a chain can run from King to Ace or Ace to King.
  4. When no card plays, select the stock to turn a new waste card. The 23-card stock is gone through once.
  5. You win by clearing all 28 peak cards.

Tips

Questions

Does suit matter in TriPeaks?

No. Only the rank counts: one higher or one lower than the waste card, with King and Ace connecting.

Can I go through the stock twice?

No. Each stock card is turned over once, so the game ends when the stock is empty and no peak card plays.

Why can I see every card?

This board deals the peaks face-up so you can plan ahead. Many versions deal the upper rows face-down and turn them over as they are uncovered.
