    Spider Solitaire

    ♥️ Like most online solitaire games, Spider Solitaire had an offline progenitor. It is believed that the Spider comes from the French Bastille, where political prisoners could not have gambling companions. According to another opinion, this solitaire in its traditional version was created for King Louis XIV by the mathematician Pelisson. For the first time the online version of the Spider appeared in Windows.

    ✅ Spider Solitaire 1 rules

    There are several variations of this online solitaire game: for 1, 2 or 4 suits. Next we will consider the one-suit version. The number of suits can be changed in the game settings.

    The Set and Appearance

    In Solitaire, two decks of cards are used instead of one, with values from two to ace. They include 104 cards, 54 of which are arranged in columns. In Spider Solitaire, there are 10 columns in total. In the columns, only the top card is visible to the user and open for interaction, the others are face-down. As soon as the top card in each column is removed, the next card contained in it turns face-up.

    At the bottom of the screen there is a deck, which includes the remaining cards not distributed in the columns. Dealing is activated by clicking the left mouse button on the deck. One card per column literally flies out of the deck. The previous top card in the column also remains visible. You should be careful not to click the deck twice and deal an extra row of cards to the columns by mistake if this is not planned. The game has a keyboard shortcut for undoing a move.

    Moving Cards

    In online Spider Solitaire, the cards are moved by one at a time or in piles. In the one-suit version, all cards of the layout are dealt in spades. They can be moved between columns in piles or by one at a time. To do this, a lower-ranking card must be placed on top of a higher-ranking card in order: a nine is placed on top of a ten, an ace is placed on top of a two, a queen ‒ on top of a king, and so on.

    During the first game, you can notice that the Solitaire likes to complicate the game and a lot of cards of the same rank are dealt or flipped over face up in the columns. In this case, it is necessary to decide which of the five rank cards one should put on top of the flipped six and so on. In case of an empty cell in columns, it is possible to move any card or any correct sequence. As a rule, the empty cell is used to split the pile, which contains two sets of sequences of 3, 4 or even more cards.

    The Goal of the Game and Winning Ways

    The goal of the Spider Solitaire online game is to collect cards in piles from King to Ace and move them to the Foundation. This will happen automatically. This can only be done if the complete sequence is collected in one of the columns. To win, you need to arrange all possible sequences and move all cards to the Foundation. The game will not allow you to collect piles in the wrong sequences or move incomplete sequences.

    Like in most solitaire games, non-winning deals can be even in the simplest versions of Spider with one suit. But in general, it is quite easy to win here. Before the first deal, it is necessary to flip over as many cards as possible in the columns. Next, you should try to flip cards over in columns after the second deal. After the third deal, it will not be so easy, so you should think about flipping cards over in columns at the beginning of the game.

    You shouldn't hurry with the dealing. It is worth thinking out the possible combinations of moves before the top cards in the columns are blocked by a new portion of cards after clicking the mouse.

    Next, it is necessary to examine the layout in order to detect single cards. For example, if there is only one nine surrounded by three eights or three tens on the tableau, it is necessary to build the first pile around it and try not to clutter it up with other cards during the deal. After all, the path to victory begins with the first arranged pile, although this is not a guarantee of winning.

    The complex layouts are considered those in which numerous aces are the first cards in piles and they block the flipping and use of other cards. If parts of the piles are collected in two different columns, it's worth combining them to move at least one pile into the Foundation. Perhaps, this will turn over face up new cards in columns and reduce the overall number of cards on the virtual game table.
