Peaks Solitaire is a fast, streak-chasing card game. Twenty-eight cards form three overlapping peaks; play any uncovered card onto the waste if it is one rank higher or lower, with King and Ace joined in a loop. Each card in a streak is worth more than the last, every peak you topple pays a bonus, and clearing the whole table with stock to spare scores best of all. Every “clearable” deal has been cleared by a solver.
How to play Peaks Solitaire
Goal: Clear all 28 cards from the three peaks before the stock runs out.

Rules
- A card is uncovered (face up) once both cards overlapping it are gone.
- Play a card onto the waste if it is one rank above or below — King and Ace connect.
- Each play in a streak scores 10 × the streak length; turning a stock card ends the streak.
- Clearing a peak’s top card scores +150; clearing the whole table scores +500 and +20 per stock card left.
Tips and strategy
- Before playing, look for the longest chain you can make from the visible cards.
- Prefer cards that uncover face-down cards — they open new chains.
- Turning a stock card resets the streak, so squeeze out every play first.
