Tri Peaks is mostly an exposure puzzle disguised as a streak game.

Core Tri Peaks tips

• Favor plays that uncover two blocked cards at once, because exposure is the real resource in Tri Peaks.
• Before drawing from the stock, scan all exposed cards for both up-rank and down-rank continuations.
• Keep middle bridge ranks available when possible so your next waste top stays flexible.
• Do not over-focus on one peak if another move opens a wider set of follow-up options.
• Use undo to compare lines when two streaks look equally promising but expose different support cards.

Best early priority

Open the base of each peak evenly enough that you do not trap several face-down cards behind one bad rank decision. Broad exposure usually beats a narrow streak.

Common mistake

Players often burn a bridge rank to extend a short run without noticing that it was the only card connecting two unopened parts of the tableau.
