Tri Peaks Solitaire

Variations

Use the "New Game" button to choose between two variations: Fog and Clear Sky.

Fog

• There are only 10 cards face up in the bottom row;
• Although it is not possible to plan out moves in advance, this variation of the game is easy and fun.

Clear Sky

• In this variation, all cards start face up;
• This way the game depends very little on luck and the vast majority of games are winnable (7 out of 10).

Strategies

• Make as many moves as possible before dealing a new card from the stock;
• Try to remove the cards from the bases of the peaks in a balanced way, that is, keep the piles level;
• It is important to try to immediately remove cards that will release others;
• If there are two or more possible moves, choose one that will release a card different from those currently available;
• In the "Clear Sky" variation, a strategy that guarantees victory most of the time is to analyze the upcoming cards and plan your moves accordingly.

Other Information

• This game is very similar to Elevator Solitaire (but incredibly easier and less frustrating) and Golf Solitaire;
• The "Undo" button is disabled to make the game more interesting;
• You gain one point for each card removed from the piles. Since there are 28 cards in the piles, this is your maximum score.
