Sit down: Ridgeline Patience

House rules

Ridgeline Patience

Three peaks of cards and a waste pile. Play any open card one rank above or below the waste, keep your streak alive, and climb every summit before the stock runs out. The daily deal keeps Ace and King apart; the weekly deal lets them touch.

Maker’s note

Three-peak patience is all rhythm: a long run of cards that follow each other up and down the ranks, and the quiet cost of reaching for the stock. We built our own table for it, with the peaks sketched behind the cards, a streak meter that fills as you go and a hint that searches for the longest run. One deal a day for everyone, every play recorded as a move, so the best climb of the day can be replayed card by card.
