Rules and tips
How to play Spider Solitaire
Build down by rank. Only same-suit runs move together; a complete same-suit run from king to ace leaves the board.
How to play
- Two decks are dealt into ten columns.
- Build down by rank, mixing suits only when necessary.
- Move complete descending runs only when every card shares a suit.
- Fill every empty column before dealing a new row.
- Complete and remove eight suited king-to-ace runs.
Strategy tips
- Make same-suit runs whenever possible.
- Expose hidden cards before dealing another row.
- Create an empty column and protect it as working space.
- Treat mixed runs as temporary debt.
