TriPeaks Solitaire -- Lite 2.7

Tri-Peaks, also known as Three Peaks, Tri Towers, or Triple Peaks, offers a modern take on the traditional solitaire genre. Created by Robert Hogue in 1989, this game stands apart from its more historical counterparts that trace back to the 18th century. Its relatively recent inception has led to the development of numerous clones across various platforms, a testament to its popularity.

This version of Tri-Peaks aims to capture the engaging elements of the original while providing a compact download experience featuring diverse card layouts.

The gameplay begins with a distinct layout and one open card, while the remaining cards are placed face down in a closed stack. The objective is to transfer all cards to the open card. Key mechanics include:

• You may move any open card from the three peaks to the open card if it is numerically adjacent, regardless of suit. For instance, if the open card is a 4, you can move either a 3 or a 5 onto it. A King or 2 can also be placed atop an Ace, and vice versa.
• If you find yourself with no available moves, you can reveal a closed card.
• Points are awarded for each card moved from the layout to the open card, starting at 1 point for the first card and increasing by 1 for each subsequent move. However, revealing a closed card resets this point streak back to 1. Additional bonus points can be earned for leftover closed cards or for finishing quickly.
