![]() When the game starts, the players can only see the upper cards in each pile and only these are movable. The Stock Pile can only be used when there are no empty piles on the tableau. Players should analyze the game carefully before using it, as the new cards may prevent accessing sequences already in place in the piles. Instead, clicking on it will add 10 cards to the tableau automatically (one card per pile). Players cannot sift through the Stock Pile in a game of Spider Solitaire. The player wins the game when there are no more cards on the tableau. The players must complete sequences by suit on the tableau first, and these will be automatically sent to the Foundations and rearranged into ascending order. Unlike other Solitaire games, it is not possible to move individual cards into the Foundations. The goal of Spider Solitaire is to transfer all the cards, including those in the Stock Pile, into the Foundations. The tableau arrangement in a game of Spider Solitaire is always the same, regardless of the difficulty level you choose. There are 8 Foundations and there are normally placed on the right side of the tableau, above the piles. The Foundations start as empty spaces set aside to build the needed sequences to win the game. The Stock Pile contains all the cards that were not dealt into the piles. All the cards are facing down, except for the upper one in each pile which is facing forward and visible to the player. Starting from left to right, the first 4 piles contain 6 cards, while the others only have 5 each. In a game of Spider Solitaire, the tableau is divided into 3 main areas: the Stock Pile, the Foundations, and the Piles (also known as Columns). The basic rules are the same regardless of the number of suits you choose. The more suits you choose to play with, the more difficult the game becomes. You can play this Spider Solitaire game using 1, 2, or 4 suits at the same time. Since then, it has become a favorite among Solitaire games, even challenging the prominent Solitaire Klondike for the top spot. The game gets its name precisely from these 8 foundations as they resemble the 8 legs of a spider.Īlthough the first Spider Solitaire game dates back to 1947, it was only after its inclusion in the Microsoft computer software in 1998 that the game met its boom in popularity. ![]() Regardless, the goal is always to build 8 foundations by suit and in ascending order (from ace to king). The number of suits and decks may vary depending on the difficulty of the game. In its traditional and most common version, it uses two standard decks of 52 cards and 2 suits. As with the other games in this category, it is designed for a single player (thus the Solitaire designation), although it can also be adapted to include other players. ![]() Each move you make costs 10 points, so make wise decisions and aim for a higher score.Spider Solitaire is a game that belongs to the larger category of Solitaire card games. If you are not satisfied with the progress, you may click the Give Up button at the bottom left corner of the screen to quit the current game. If no more moves can be made, you can click a stock pile to deal new cards, but note that this can only be done when all tableau piles are occupied by cards. An empty tableau pile can be occupied by any card. The downturned cards on the tableau piles will reveal when the upturned cards are removed. You can move a group of cards built down by suit or a single card to another tableau pile if the move itself is in sequence, for example, a 3 of spades and a 2 of spades can be moved to a 4 of hearts. The remaining cards are downturned and divided into 6 stock piles at the bottom right corner of the screen. Each of the tableau piles will then be dealt 1 upturned card. The game starts with 10 tableau piles, with each of the four piles on the left contains 4 downturned cards and each of the remaining piles contains 3 downturned cards. Your goal in this game is to arrange the cards by suit from K to A so that they can be removed. Mind your steps and plan your moves carefully in the two-suit Spider Solitaire. ![]()
