2 Decks.  Medium (20%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To group all the cards in sets of 13 cards in sequence down in suit from King to Ace.

 

Layout

10 tableau piles - build down regardless of suit.  Groups of cards in sequence down in suit may be moved as a unit.  A space can be filled by any card or legal group of cards.  At the start of the game 6 cards each are dealt to the first 4 piles, 5 cards each to the remaining piles.  The top card is face up.

 

stock (top left, face down) - deals 1 card to each tableau pile by clicking.  All tableau piles must be filled before dealing.

 

Notes

Whenever a sequence of 13 cards down in suit from King to Ace is formed, it will automatically be removed from play.

 

Tips

Same suit sequences should be preferred even though building is down regardless of suit.  The object is to build down in suit sequences.

 

Spaces should be made as soon as possible, and used to move cards into groups by suit.

 

History

Spider is one of the classic solitaire games.
