Try to find sequences of moves that get rid of several cards at once.Of course, other problem areas should be looked for as well. Since Kings and Aces both only have one card that they may be moved on top of (except in Easy Tripeaks Solitaire), there are difficult to remove and can block cards underneath them. At the start of a game and before making any moves, the player should scan the Tableau and attempt to devise a plan.Note that in the Easy Tripeaks Solitaire variant, an Ace can also be placed onto a King. Since an Ace can only be placed onto a Two, the player should track all the Twos to be sure that they are available to use in order to remove all of the Aces from the Tableau.Note that in the Easy Tripeaks Solitaire variant, a King can also be placed onto an Ace. Since a King can only be placed onto a Queen, the player should track all the Queens to be sure that they are available to use in order to remove all of the Kings from the Tableau.At any point during gameplay, the player has the option (found in the Menu) of resetting the game to its very beginning. If the player wishes, a move may be undone however, points will be deducted from the score. The process continues until either no cards remain in the Tableau, in which case the game is won, or the Stock is empty and no more cards can be removed from the Tableau, in which case the game is lost since the Stock allows only one pass. The player then has another opportunity to send cards from the Tableau to the Foundation. When the player is either unable or unwilling to move any more cards from the Tableau to the Foundation pile, they must click on the Stock, while deals a new top Foundation card.
No card is ever allowed to be moved from the Foundation pile. However, wrapping is allowed in the Easy Tripeaks Solitaire variant.
The game does not allow ranks to be wrapped, which means that the player can neither place an Ace onto a King nor a King onto an Ace. As cards are removed from the Tableau, they will inevitably cause other cards to become exposed, which themselves could then potentially be moved into the Foundation. The newly added card then becomes the current top Foundation card and the process can continue. The remaining 23 cards are placed face-down and squared into the Stock.Īt any point during the game the player may move any exposed card onto the Foundation as long as it is either next or prior in rank to the current top Foundation card. All cards are overlapped by two cards in the row directly under it, except for the bottom row where the cards are said to be exposed and could be put into play.Ī single card is dealt face-up into the Foundation. The bottom row consists of 10 cards, then 9, then 6, and finally 3 cards in the top row. When the game starts, 28 cards are dealt face-up into the Tableau in a shape reminiscent of three mountain peaks. To win the game, the Stock does not have to be emptied. The goal of Tripeaks Solitaire is to empty all the cards from the Tableau into the Foundation. Although it's been calculated that over 90% of randomly dealt hands are theoretically solvable, in practice, even experienced players don't come anywhere near to that figure.Ī variation of Tripeaks Solitaire called Easy Tripeaks Solitaire adds an option to make winning easier: it allows a King to be placed onto an Ace and vice versa. While Tripeaks Solitaire is a simple game to learn, it's not so simple to beat. It's also known as Three Peaks, Tri Towers, and Triple Peaks, the game was invented by Robert Hogue in 1989. Tripeaks Solitaire is a card game played using a 52-card deck of standard playing cards.
