The Spider (1 Suit) board1 stock, 8 foundations, 10 tableaus. Fanned piles are shown with a trail of cards.
StockFoundationTableau

Goal: assemble eight complete King-to-Ace runs and move them to the foundations.

  • Tableau columns build down in any suit. Spider has 1, 2, or 4-suit variations; this table enforces the 1-suit variation (suits are interchangeable, so any descending run can be moved together).
  • Only face-up cards can be picked up; uncovering a face-down card flips it.
  • Any card may start an empty column.
  • When you're stuck, tap the stock to deal one card onto every column — allowed only when no column is empty.
  • A complete King-to-Ace run (all 13 cards) leaves for a foundation on its own the moment you finish it — there is nothing to drag.

Variants

The rules above are Spider (1 Suit). Here is how the rest of the family differs.

Spider (4 Suits)

Goal: assemble eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs and move them to the foundations. This is the classic, hardest four-suit Spider.

  • Tableau columns build down in any suit — a card lands on any card one rank higher, regardless of suit.
  • Cards move as a group only when they form a same-suit descending run; otherwise you move one card at a time.
  • Only face-up cards can be picked up; uncovering a face-down card flips it.
  • Any card may start an empty column.
  • When you're stuck, tap the stock to deal one card onto every column — allowed only when no column is empty.
  • A complete King-to-Ace run in a single suit (all 13 cards) leaves for a foundation on its own the moment you finish it — there is nothing to drag.
