Spider Solitaire

About Spider Solitaire

Spider is a Solitaire game played by 1 person only and uses 2 decks of cards. To fully understand how to play Spider Solitaire, we will first take a look at the playing field. The field is made up of 3 sections:

Tableau: These are the ten columns of 54 cards, where where the first 4 columns have 6 cards and the last 5 columns have 5 cards. Here, you will try to arrange cards by suit, from Ace to King.

Stock pile: After cards are dealt into the tableau, the remaining 50 cards go to the stock pile. You can add cards to the tableau 10 at a time, with 1 card each going into each tableau column.

Foundation: When cards in the tableau are arranged from Ace to King, they are then placed in one of the 8 foundation piles. Once all the cards are moved to the foundation, you win!

Objective

The aim of Spider Solitaire is to move all cards from the tableau to the foundation. For this purpose, you must arrange all cards in the tableau in descending order in the same suit, from King to Ace. Once you have completed a sequence, it will automatically be moved to the foundation and you can start on the next sequence and so on, until you have cleared the whole tableau.

Our Spider Solitaire game has 4 levels: 1 colour (easy), 2 colours (more challenging), 3 colours (extremely challenging )and 4 colours (only for the real expert).

Spider Solitaire strategy

• Prioritize identifying face-down cards. Revealing cards is critical to understanding what cards you have and don't have, as well as finding new options to sequence cards. Before drawing any cards from the stockpile, be sure you try to reveal as many cards in the tableau as possible.

• Create empty columns when you can. You can move any card or groups of sequenced cards to an empty tableau column. This can be important to free up moves and advance the game.

• Move higher ranking cards to empty columns. If you move lower-ranking cards to an empty column, you can only place a limited number of cards there. For example, if you move a 3 to an empty column, only a 2 and an Ace can then be moved there. Instead, try moving higher-ranking cards like Kings to an empty column, allowing you to build longer sequences or helping you arrange cards of the same suit from King to Ace.

• Use the undo button. At times, you may make moves that prevent you from further progress. Backtrack by using the undo button, and look for alternative moves.
