Two decks of Spider with every tableau card visible. Study the board and plan ahead.
Every tableau card is visible, so look ahead before joining unlike suits. Mixed stacks can be built, but only same-suit descending groups travel together, and each stock deal adds another card to all ten columns.
Rules and objective
- Ten open columns hold six cards in the first four and five in the rest. Fifty cards remain in the stock.
- Build down by rank in any suit. Only descending runs of one suit may move together.
- Any card or valid run can fill an empty column. Fill every column before drawing.
- Each stock tap deals one card to each column. There are five row deals and no redeals.
- A complete same-suit King-to-Ace run is removed automatically. Finish all eight runs to win.
The table enforces legal moves and saves the current deal in this browser. Hints identify a move that is available now; they do not guarantee that the deal can still be won.
Strategy: how to play better
First priority
Study buried cards before combining suits. All the information is visible.
Study every visible card
The whole tableau begins face up. Trace which mixed-suit builds will block the same-suit cards you ultimately need for finished runs.
Prepare before each row deal
The stock deals to every column only when none is empty. Arrange movable runs and fill any gap before bringing down ten new cards.
Frequently asked questions
Why can I not move this descending stack?
A group must descend in one suit. A mixed-suit stack can be built but must be separated before it moves together.
Why will the stock not deal?
All ten columns must contain a card before the stock can deal its next row.
