6 Peaks Solitaire

6 Peaks Solitaire

6 Peaks Solitaire is a variation of the classic Solitaire card game, designed to be played with a standard deck of 52 cards or through digital versions available on various platforms. The game is similar to the traditional TriPeaks or Tri Towers Solitaire but with an additional challenge brought by the increased number of peaks.

Objective

The main goal of 6 Peaks Solitaire is to clear all the cards from the tableau by matching them with the base card in accordance with their ranks, regardless of suit. You can match cards that are one rank higher or one rank lower than the base card. For example, if the base card is a 7, you can either pick a 6 or an 8.

Gameplay

  1. Start the Game: Reveal the top card of the draw pile. This becomes your first base card.
  2. Make Moves: Look for cards in the tableau (the peaks and the cards in between) that are one rank higher or lower than the current base card. For example, if your base card is a 9, you can remove an 8 or a 10 from the tableau.
  3. Continue Playing: When you remove a card from the tableau, it becomes the new base card. You then look for cards that are one rank higher or lower than this new base card.
  4. Uncover Cards: As you remove cards from the tableau, cards that were face down get turned over, opening up more potential moves.
  5. Draw Cards: If there are no possible moves left with the current base card, draw a new card from the draw pile to use as the new base card.
  6. Wild Cards: Some versions of the game include a wild card, which can be used as any card.

Winning the Game

To win, you must clear all cards from the tableau before the draw pile runs out. If you clear all the cards or cannot make any more moves and the draw pile is empty, the game ends.

Strategy Tips

  • Plan ahead and consider which moves will open up the most new cards.
  • Try to uncover and use cards from peaks and rows that have the most covered cards.
  • Be mindful of the draw pile; unnecessary moves can deplete it quickly, leaving you without options.

6 Peaks Solitaire offers a fun and challenging twist on the traditional Solitaire game, requiring strategic thinking and forward planning to achieve victory.
