Objective

The aim of Tri-Peaks Solitaire is to clear all cards from the tableau which is made up of three consecutive overlapping pyramids.

Setup

TABLEAU - At the begining player is dealt 18 cards face-down on the tableau to make three consecutive pyramids. Each card in these pyramids are covered by two face-down cards. Over these three pyramids 10 face-up cards are dealt so that each card in the last row of the pyramid is covered by 2 face-up cards.

STOCK - After dealing cards to the tableau, remaining cards are set aside forming a stock pile.

WASTE - One card is dealt face-up onto the waste pile.

Gameplay

• Cards are ranked from Ace to King, Ace starting with 1 and so on, so the King is ranked 13. The cards can only be removed from the tableau to the waste pile if it is one rank higher or one rank lower than the top card in the waste pile.
• Cards are wrapped in Tri-Peaks so an Ace can be played on a King or a King can be played on an Ace.
• When cards are moved from the tableau to the waste pile, if any face-down card is uncovered, it is turned face-up.
• If no play is possible, one card can be drawn from the stock pile and placed face-up on the waste pile.
• Only face-up cards can be removed from the tableau to the waste pile.
• Redeal is not allowed so when all cards are moved from the stock pile to the waste pile, game ends.

The game is won when all cards from the tableau are moved to the waste pile.
