How to play Spider

  1. Ten tableau columns are dealt from two decks (104 cards).
  2. Build down by rank regardless of suit; only same-suit sequences move as a unit.
  3. A complete King-to-Ace same-suit run is removed from the board.
  4. Deal from the stock when stuck — every column must have at least one card before dealing.

Strategy tips

  • Prioritize building same-suit runs over mixed-color stacks.
  • Empty columns are powerful — protect them.
  • Avoid dealing from the stock until you have improved the layout.
