How to play Spider
Spider uses 104 cards. Ten columns begin with 6 cards in the first four and 5 in the rest; only their end cards are face up. Build downward by one rank, regardless of suit. Move several cards together only when they descend consecutively in the same suit. Any card or valid group can fill an empty column. Exposed face-down cards turn over automatically. Deal puts one card on each column, but every column must contain a card first. The 50 stock cards provide five deals; there is no redeal. A complete same-suit King-to-Ace run is removed automatically. Remove all eight runs to win.
Scoring & controls
Start at 500 points, lose 1 per move or stock deal, and gain 100 per completed run. Undo restores the previous score. One suit uses eight copies of spades; two suits use four copies each of spades and hearts; four suits use two standard decks.
Hint selects a suggested card and highlights legal destinations; you make the move. Undo reverses one action, including automatic reveals and completed runs. Restart restores this deal. New game shuffles again. Practice finish is a prepared, fully visible endgame for learning the final steps. A random deal is not guaranteed winnable.
Can I move a mixed-suit group in Spider?
No. A single card can build on the next higher rank of any suit, but a group must descend consecutively in one suit. Complete eight King-to-Ace runs to win.
