About Peak Tide

Peak Tide is TriPeaks solitaire on a sunny shore. Twenty-eight cards sit in three peaks above the water. Tap a free card that is one rank higher or one rank lower than the card on the waste pile. Suit does not matter, and King and Ace connect, so a run can wrap around.

Every card you play becomes the next card to match, so the fun is in the long run: 6, 7, 8, 7, 6. When nothing fits, tap the stock for a new waste card. Clear all three peaks to win. The first deal is gentle and a calm pace takes about a minute and a half. Later deals hide more of the cards you need and ask you to plan a few moves ahead.

Every deal is checked by a solver before you play, so a winning line always exists. Undo is unlimited, a hint appears if you pause, and each deal has one +5, which puts five waste cards back into the stock, and one Wild card. Stars reward cards left in the stock and long runs. A Daily deal is the same for every player. Your game is saved on your device, and soft ocean waves play until you mute them.

How to play Peak Tide

1. Three peaks of cards sit on the table. Only the cards that nothing covers are face up and free to play.
2. Tap a free card that is one rank higher or one rank lower than the face-up card on the waste pile. Suit and color do not matter, and King and Ace connect.
3. Each card you play goes on the waste and becomes the new card to match, so you can chain a long run.
4. When no card fits, tap the stock to turn over a new waste card. The run counter resets.
5. Clear all 28 cards from the three peaks to win the deal. You lose only if the stock is empty and no card fits.

Tips and tricks

• Look a few cards ahead before you tap. A run that goes 7, 8, 7, 6 often frees more cards than the obvious 7, 8, 9.
• Play cards that uncover face-down cards first. A card that frees nothing can wait.
• Save the stock. Every card left in the stock at the end adds to your score and to your stars.
• Long runs score more: each card in a run is worth 25 points times the run length.
• If you are stuck, wait a moment for the hint, use Undo, or keep the one-per-deal Wild card for the last few cards.
