Spider uses 104 cards across ten columns. The browser game starts with two suits. Your task is to remove eight complete runs, each descending from King to Ace in one suit.

How to play

  1. A single card may be placed on a card one rank higher, regardless of suit.
  2. To move several cards together, they must form a descending sequence of the same suit.
  3. An empty column can hold any movable card or suited run.
  4. Dealing from the stock adds one card to every column. Fill empty columns first; a new row cannot be dealt while a column is empty.

Example

You may put a seven of hearts on an eight of spades, but those two cards cannot then travel as one run. A seven and eight of the same suit can stay together.

Playing tip

Use empty columns to separate mixed suits. Delay a stock deal until you have checked for useful rearrangements, because the new row covers every column.

Frequently asked questions

When does a run leave the board?

A complete King-to-Ace sequence of one suit is removed automatically. Clear eight runs to win.

How is Spider different from Klondike?

Spider builds full runs on the table with two decks. Klondike builds four separate suit foundations from Aces.
