Tri Tower Solitaire is a solitaire game with great fairy tale graphics, written in flash. The goal of the game is to use all of the cards. Players use all of the cards by counting up or down on the flipped over card.

The board contains a good amount of cards and most of them are turned over. The only cards that are visible are a row of cards on the bottom of three small pyramids. There is a line of draw cards that end in a flipped over card. Players put a card that is either higher or lower on the face up card. For instance, if the face up card is a nine, an eight or ten can be played on that card. Game play continues until all of the cards are gone. When the round ends, players continue on to the next round. Game play ends when you can not clear all of the cards off the board.

Tri Tower Solitaire is a simple, yet very addicting game. The graphics are really good compared to most flash games I have played. There is a nice castle that appears after a pyramid is cleared, which adds a nice touch. If you like Solitaire games, you will love Tri Tower Solitaire. Players can check out the game here.
