Expert Tips
Protect your chain: Before drawing from stock, scan all face-up cards. Even a round-about sequence (7→8→7→8) keeps the chain alive.
Uncover the peaks early: The top peak cards are the hardest to reach — prioritise clearing the bottom rows to expose them sooner.
Save versatile cards: 6s and 7s connect to the most other ranks — try to play them last in a chain to extend it further.

TriPeaks

Goal

Clear all 28 cards from three overlapping pyramid peaks. A card can be played if it is one rank above or below the current waste pile card — suits don't matter.

Rules

  • Tap a face-up card that is ±1 rank from the waste pile top. Ace wraps to King.
  • Clearing a card reveals the card(s) it was covering.
  • Draw from the stock pile when no plays are available — but this resets your chain.
  • The game ends when all peaks are cleared (win) or the stock is exhausted and no plays remain (loss).

Scoring

Each card in a chain of N scores N×10 points. Finish with a win bonus (+200), best chain bonus (+20 per chain length), and stock remaining bonus (+5 per card left). Score is saved on both win and loss.

Why this sharpens your mind

Sequential Reasoning

Planning multi-step card sequences trains your brain to think ahead, evaluate options, and commit to a path — a key component of executive function.

Pattern Recognition

Spotting rank adjacency chains across the tableau rapidly exercises visual scanning and number pattern detection.
