TriPeaks Solitaire
TriPeaks is the chaining solitaire: one card sits face up, and you take any uncovered card one rank above or below it — a seven follows a six or an eight. The card you take becomes the next to follow, and the ace connects the king and the two. Stringing a long run together is the pleasure.

Play →Why play TriPeaks here
Every deal is checked before it reaches you. Neither of these games has a redeal — the stock is turned once, card by card — so a board dealt at random can be dead before you touch it. Here each one is searched first and only the finishable boards are dealt, and the hint comes from that same search, so it shows a move that keeps the board winnable rather than merely a legal one.
Two tableaux, one rule. TriPeaks stacks twenty-eight cards into three peaks over a shared bottom row; Golf lays thirty-five out in seven columns and puts only the foot of each in play. Full screen hands the whole window to the table, undo is unlimited and costs nothing, no ads interrupt a deal, and a board you leave half-cleared is waiting when you come back.
Frequently asked questions
Is TriPeaks solitaire free to play?
Yes. TriPeaks and Golf are both free in your browser with no ads, no download and no account. Your deals, times and cleared-board count stay on your own device.
How do you play TriPeaks solitaire?
Twenty-eight cards form three peaks over a shared bottom row of ten, and one card sits face up beside the stock. Take any uncovered peak card that is one rank higher or lower than it, and that card becomes the new one to follow — so 5, 6, 7, 8 can come off in one sweep. A peak card is uncovered once both cards resting on it are gone. When nothing follows on, turn the next card from the stock. Clear all twenty-eight to win.
Does the ace connect to the king?
Yes, at both ends: a king and a two both follow an ace, so Q-K-A-2-3 is one unbroken run. That is what lets a chain keep going instead of stopping dead at the top of the deck, and it is the standard rule in both TriPeaks and Golf.
What is the difference between TriPeaks and Golf Solitaire?
The rule is identical — take a card one rank above or below the one face up — and only the layout changes. TriPeaks gives you three peaks and twenty-eight cards, where clearing a peak’s feet opens the cards above it. Golf gives you seven columns of five and puts only the bottom card of each in play, so you are always choosing between seven options and emptying a column opens nothing new. Golf is the quicker of the two.
Is there a redeal?
No — in both games the stock is turned once, card by card, and that is standard. It is also why deals are verified here: run the stock out with cards still on the table and the board is over, so it matters that the board could have been cleared. Undo is unlimited, so you can back up and spend the stock differently.
Can I play full screen?
Yes — the Full screen button gives the whole window to the table and the cards grow with it, on desktop and on phones. The same button, or the Escape key, brings the page back.
Is there a timer?
Nothing counts down and nothing runs out. A quiet clock runs so the finish can tell you how long the board took, but it starts at your first move rather than at the deal, it is never on screen while you play, and it pauses when you switch tabs.
