Solitaire Tripeaks lovely

The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. At the start, the cards are shuffled and dealt face down in the shape of three overlapping pyramids. The peaks of the pyramids are facing up, while the rest of the cards are face down.

The goal is to clear the cards by selecting one card that is either one rank higher or one rank lower than the card at the foundation. For example, if the foundation card is a 5, you can select a 4 or a 6 from the pyramid to remove it. Aces can be played on Kings, and Kings can be played on Aces.

To select a card, it must be uncovered and not blocked by any other cards. Only the top card of each pile is available for play. Once you select a card, it is moved to the foundation, and the card beneath it is exposed. You continue this process, clearing cards and exposing new ones, until no more moves are possible or all the cards have been cleared.

There are a few additional rules to keep in mind. If you reach a point where no more moves can be made, you can reshuffle the cards that have not been cleared and form a new pyramid. However, reshuffling comes at a cost, as it adds to your overall score. The fewer reshuffles you use, the better your final score will be.

Tripeaks Solitaire is a game that requires strategic planning and careful decision-making. You need to think ahead and consider the potential consequences of each move. Sometimes it's better to hold off on playing a certain card and wait for more favorable options to become available.

The game continues until you either clear all the cards from the pyramid or run out of possible moves. At the end of the game, your score is calculated based on the number of cards cleared, the number of reshuffles used, and the time taken to complete the game. The goal is to achieve the highest score possible and challenge yourself to improve with each attempt.
