Spider Solitaire
Card | 8.5MB
The main purpose of the Spider Solitaire Free game is to remove all Spider Solitaire cards from the table, assembling Spider Solitaire cards in the tableau before removing them. Initially, 54 Spider Solitaire cards are dealt to the tableau in ten piles, face down except for the top Spider Solitaire cards. The tableau piles build down by rank, and in-suit sequences can be moved together. The 50 remaining Spider Solitaire cards can be dealt to the tableau ten at a time when none of the piles are empty.

Objective of Spider Solitaire Free Game
Spider Solitaire free game is a game where the objective is to order all the Spider Solitaire cards in descending runs from King down to Ace in the same suit. Once a run has been completed, for example King of clubs down to Ace of clubs, then the whole run will be removed from the table. Once the table is completely empty the Spider Solitaire free game has been won.
Setup Spider Solitaire Free Game
Spider Solitaire is played with two full decks, 104 cards. At the beginning 54 of the Spider Solitaire cards are divided between 10 tableaus, the first 4 tableaus have 6 cards each, the other 6 tableaus have 5 cards each. The top Spider Solitaire card of each tableau is turned face up, the others are face down. The remaining 50 Spider Solitaire cards are placed in a stock at the top of the screen.
Valid Spider Solitaire Free Game moves
A Spider Solitaire card can always be moved onto a Spider Solitaire card that is one higher in rank. You can for example move a 7 of clubs and put it on an 8 of clubs, or an 8 of hearts, diamonds or spades. However, even though you can move Spider Solitaire cards onto other cards in a different suit, the objective of the Spider Solitaire free game is to create runs in the same suit, so a run will only be removed from the table if it's all in the same suit, a full run in different suits doesn't do anything for you. (Although it can be useful to move Spider Solitaire cards onto other suits just to get them out of the way).
You can move multiple Spider Solitaire cards together if they are all part of a run in the same suit. E.g. if you have 8 of clubs, 7 of clubs, 6 of clubs, then you can click the 8 and move them all together onto a 9 of any suit. However if you have 8 of clubs, 7 of hearts, 6 of diamonds, then you can't move them all together, only the top Spider Solitaire card.
If a tableau is empty then any card or partial run is allowed to be moved onto it.
A full run does not have to be the only thing on a tableau to be removed. For example, a tableau might have three facedown Spider Solitaire cards and then a full run from King to Ace in the same suit and then the run would disappear, and the three facedown Spider Solitaire cards would remain.
Adding Spider Solitaire cards from the stock
When there are no more moves that can be made in the tableaus then you can click on the stock in the upper left corner. That will move 10 cards from the stock onto the tableaus, one Spider Solitaire card onto each tableau. Try not to do this until you are sure you have no other moves to make. It is required that there is at least one Spider Solitaire card in each tableau when the stock is clicked. If there is an empty tableau on the table you must first move one or more Spider Solitaire cards onto it before you can click on the stock.
