Rules
Objective of Spider Solitaire
The goal of Spider Solitaire is to build eight complete sequences from King to Ace in the same suit. When a complete sequence is formed, it's automatically removed from the board.
Setup
- The game uses two standard 52-card decks (104 cards total)
- Cards are dealt into 10 tableau columns
- The first 4 columns get 6 cards each, the remaining 6 columns get 5 cards each
- Only the top card of each column starts face up
- The remaining 50 cards form the stock for dealing later
Tableau Rules
- Build descending sequences regardless of suit (K, Q, J, 10, 9...)
- Only sequences of the same suit can be moved together as a unit
- Empty columns can hold any card or valid sequence
- Face-down cards are revealed when the card above them is moved
Stock and Dealing
- When stuck, deal one card to each of the 10 columns from the stock
- You can only deal when no columns are empty
- The stock contains 5 rounds of 10 cards each
Winning
- Complete sequences (King to Ace of the same suit) are automatically removed
- Win by removing all eight complete sequences from the board
- The game is lost if no more moves are possible
