⛰️ Play it now: open TriPeaks.
Layout
- 28 cards form three peaks in four rows: 3 cards at the tops, then 6, then 9, then a bottom row of 10 that is shared by all three peaks.
- Only the bottom row starts face up. Each other card turns face up when both cards overlapping it have been removed.
- The remaining 24 cards form the stock. One is turned up to start the waste pile.
Play
- Move any face-up, uncovered card from the peaks to the waste if it is one rank higher or lower than the top waste card, regardless of suit.
- With wrapping on, King and Ace are next to each other, so you can play K on A or A on K.
- When no move is possible (or you choose to), turn the next stock card onto the waste. There is only one pass through the stock.
Winning and scoring
Clear all 28 peak cards to win. Many versions score runs: each card in a row without using the stock is worth more than the last. Cheettukali shows your current run and your best run.
