Goal

The goal is to sort the cards in their suits from King down to Ace and remove the pile from the board to the discard piles.

To WIN - Create 8 piles of cards from King down to Ace of the same suit. K,Q,J,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,A

Rules

Spider is a 2 deck Solitaire game. The tableau is a row of 10 cards is dealt face down. Add three more to eachpile. One more card is dealt face down on the piles 1, 4, 7 and 10. Then one face up card is dealt on each of the 10 piles.

On the tableau pile you may build down, regardless of suit or color. For example a 7 of Clubs can be placed on any 8.

To play, Tap and drag cards to the desired location. Top card on a pile is always available to be moved. Also all cards in proper sequence and same suit as top card may be moved as a unit or you can move them as individual cards.

Each time you can't move anymore you deal another row of 10 cards face up. Before doing so you must fill in any spaces.

Strategy

It is important to get all face down cards into play. If you clear away a pile it is an available space. Spaces are needed to interchange cards among tableaus piles so as to get suits together. If given the choice move like suits together as soon as possible.
