How to play Tripeaks Run
Tripeaks Run is a card game for quick breaks. Three peaks of cards are dealt in front of you. Tap an open card that is one rank higher or lower than the card on the discard pile (suit does not matter, and Ace and King count as neighbours). Cards covered by others turn face up as soon as nothing lies on them. When nothing fits, tap the pile to draw a new card.
Every card you play in a row builds your streak and pays more points. Drawing breaks the streak, clearing a peak pays a bonus, and every pile card you still have left when the last peak falls adds to your score and your stars.
A run is a series of deals that get tighter as you go. Every deal is checked to be winnable, but later ones leave little room for mistakes. You have three hearts: a lost deal costs one, and you win one back for every third deal you clear. Hint shows the next move of a winning line, Undo steps back, and a Wild card lets you play any open card once. Coins you earn unlock new mountain tables. Your best run is saved on your device.

FAQ
How do I play a card?
Tap an open card that is exactly one rank higher or lower than the card on the discard pile. Suits do not matter, and Ace and King are neighbours.
Is every deal winnable?
Yes. Each deal of a run is checked by a solver, but later deals leave only a few spare cards, so you need to plan your moves and watch your streak.
What happens when I run out of moves?
Use a Wild card or Undo, watch a video for three extra pile cards, or give up the deal and lose a heart. You win a heart back for every third deal you clear.
What are coins for?
You earn coins for every cleared deal. Spend them in the Tables menu on new mountain backgrounds and card backs.
Is Tripeaks Run free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Tap an open card one higher or lower than the card on the right. Tap the face-down pile to draw. Hint, Undo and Wild buttons sit under the cards.
