Spider Solitaire: Two-Deck Patience Card Game
Spider Solitaire is one of the most beloved and intellectually challenging variants of Solitaire ever devised. Played with two full decks across 10 tableau columns, players must build complete descending runs of thirteen cards from King all the way down to Ace.
Assemble complete matching sequences to remove them from the tableau and score points. Move single cards or sequenced runs of cards across columns, uncover face-down cards to expand your options, and deal fresh rows of cards from the stock when you run out of moves.
Featuring three difficulty tiers—1-Suit (all Spades, perfect for beginners), 2-Suit (Spades and Hearts for tactical thinkers), and 4-Suit (full 52-card suits for master strategists)—Spider Solitaire is a masterclass in strategic card manipulation.
How to play Spider Solitaire
- Click and drag cards to place them in descending order (e.g. 7 on an 8, Queen on a King).
- Cards can be placed on any card of higher value, but only sequences of the SAME suit can be moved together as a group.
- Uncover face-down cards by moving cards off them to reveal more plays.
- Click the stock deck in the corner to deal one card to every column when no legal moves remain.
Tips for winning and high scores
- Empty columns are golden: prioritize creating empty columns, which can hold any card or group to reorganize tangled suits.
- Uncover hidden cards first: always prioritize moves that flip over face-down cards over cosmetic reshuffles.
- Stick to one suit when possible: building runs in the same suit allows you to move the entire group freely.
- Ensure every column has at least one card before dealing from the stock deck, or the deal will be blocked.
