Spider Solitaire

Spider Solitaire is a classic single‑player card game played with two standard 52‑card decks (104 cards total). The goal is to arrange all cards into eight complete sequences from King down to Ace of the same suit. Cards are dealt into ten tableau columns, and you can move cards or partial sequences between columns if they are in descending order (King to Ace). When a complete sequence of the same suit is formed, it is automatically moved to a foundation pile and removed from the tableau. The game features multiple difficulty levels (one suit, two suits, or four suits). This web version offers a clean 2D, flat‑vector design with large, easy‑to‑read cards, simple drag‑and‑drop or click‑to‑move controls, an undo button, a hint system, and a statistics tracker. No registration or download is required – just open the game and start dealing.
