🕷️ Spider Solitaire

Spider Solitaire is a classic two-deck patience game. Build tableau piles down by rank. You may move ordered groups only when they are all the same suit; otherwise move single cards. Empty columns can take any card (or a suited run). When no columns are empty and you’re stuck, deal one card to each column from the stock.

🎯 Objective

Complete and remove eight in-suit sequences from King down to Ace to clear the board.

📜 How to Play

  1. Build on the tableau in descending rank (any suit). Move a group only if the whole group is in one suit and in order.
  2. When you form a full King→Ace sequence in one suit, it is removed from the tableau.
  3. Empty columns may be filled with any single card or a valid suited run.
  4. If you’re out of moves and no column is empty, deal one card to each column from the stock.

đź’ˇ Strategy Tips

  • Prioritize building same-suit runs; avoid mixing suits in long stacks.
  • Expose face-down cards early and keep at least one column empty for maneuvering.
  • Don’t deal too soon—finish promising runs before adding more cards.

✨ Why Play Spider

Deep, methodical gameplay that rewards planning and patience—perfect for focused, satisfying sessions.
