Spider Solitaire

⚙️ Details

🎮 How to play Spider Solitaire

You start with 10 tableau piles. The first four piles have six cards, and the last six piles have five cards, with the top card face up. You can move any face-up card (or a packed sequence of cards in the same suit) onto another card if it is one rank lower (e.g., a 7 of Hearts can go on an 8 of Hearts, 8 of Spades, etc.). However, you can only move a group of cards (e.g., 7, 6, 5 of hearts) if they are all in the same suit. When you have no moves, you click the stock pile to deal one new card to each of the 10 tableau piles. A full sequence (King to Ace) of a single suit will be automatically removed.

💡 Tips and Tricks for Spider Solitaire

Your main goal is to free up empty tableau columns. An empty column is the most powerful tool you have, as it allows you to move any card or sequence there, helping you rearrange the board. Focus on building ‘in-suit’ sequences whenever possible. While you can place a red 6 on a black 7, it is a temporary move. A 6 of Hearts on a 7 of Hearts is a permanent, useful move.

• Try to turn over new cards as quickly as possible. More face-up cards mean more options.
• Do not be afraid to use the ‘Undo’ button. Sometimes you need to peek under a card to see if a move is worth it.
• Be very careful before dealing new cards from the stock. Double-check every pile for possible moves.

This game requires intense concentration and forward-thinking, a very different kind of focus from the high-speed reflexes needed in Subway Surfers Beijing. When you play Spider Solitaire unblocked, start with one suit to learn the rules, then move to two suits for a standard challenge. Four suits is for experts only.

🕹️ Controls for Spider Solitaire

The controls for Spider Solitaire are entirely mouse-based, making it simple to play.

• Left Mouse Click (and Drag): Select and move cards or sequences.
• Left Mouse Click (on Stock): Deal a new row of cards.
• Right Mouse Click: (In many versions) Automatically send possible cards to a foundation or empty space.

The strategy in the Spider Solitaire game comes from which cards you click and drag, not from the complexity of the controls themselves.
