Each has different rules and strategies, but for the most part the goal is the same. Generally, you must clear all the cards in the tableau piles of cards you need to get rid of by stacking them in some way. For Klondike, the method is to stack the cards chronologically from Ace up to King, alternating color as you go.
For TriPeaks, you must clear all the cards by clicking on cards that either directly above or below the starter card in value, regardless of suit or color. This means that if the starter card is a Jack, you can either clear a 10 or a Queen, and so on. Most players will not have encountered many solitaire games beyond the typical Klondike version.

It explains your goal, the rules, and how to win, and includes definitions for those hard to understand words like tableau and foundation. The Help window is accessible at any time from the game screen should you forget some of the rules or require further help. This is a great feature and very helpful, especially for newer players, especially because it tells you how hard the game is, meaning either Easy, Medium or Difficult and whether winning that particular game is more skill of luck based.

Rated 5 out of 5 by magfan from The best solitaire game offered at Big Fish The current version of BVS Solitaire offers more than the varieties indicated in the Big Fish description. There is an Undo. There is a hotkey shortcut for a Hint. You can choose any solitaire variant you wish right from the outset -- no "unlocking" nonsense. One feature that I haven't seen in other Solitaire collections is the ability to tweak the rules, creating your own variants you save your tweaked version under a different name.
BVS Solitaire has been updated since some of the other reviews indicating technical problems. I can't say that all the games work properly on all computers, but I've never had a problem with crashing on any of the solitaires that I've played. I have had irregularities with the Autoplay going off when I didn't want it to, but that seems to fix itself after a few moves.
Most solitaire games offered by Big Fish are variants of simple card matching, with a pretty background and music, often with some sort of "story" tacked on or "levels" limiting what games you can play. This one is serious solitaire. It allows you to choose, or even to add your own backgrounds.
It has several attractive card faces to choose from. It's not the highest resolution game out there, but it doesn't look bad on my 24" monitor. It allows you to mark your "favorite" solitaire games for quick reference useful when there are over possibilites to scroll through. It has a multitude of other configuration options, but the most attractive option to me is the ability to tweak the rules.
Do not play Pecock Tail, after awhile is will freeze up and you can not play any of the games. I have deleted the game from my computer and reinstalled several times this does not work. Buy at your risk. Would I buy the game again knowing this Yes. I just would not play Pecock Tail. I would recommend this game with caution. The Big Fish Guarantee: Quality tested and virus free.
