Object of the game

To create in the tableau 8 suites of 13 cards in descending suit sequence from King to Ace.

Foundations

• The foundations are not built directly.

• The 10 piles are tableau and foundations at the same time and all building is on the tableau.

• When a playable sequence (an entire suite of 13 cards) becomes exposed it is automatically moved to a foundation.

• The game is won if all 8 sequences are discarded (when you discard the whole deck in 8 sequences and nothing is on the tableau).

Tableau (10 columns)

• Build down regardless of suit (for example, a 5 can be played on a 6 ).

• The top card of each pile is available for play on another tableau pile.

• Cards of the same suit and in descending sequence may be moved as a unit to another pile (groups of cards not of the same suit cannot be moved).

• Nothing can be placed on an Ace (a King cannot move, except to a blank space).

• Spaces may be filled with any available card or packed sequence.

Stock

• Click once on the stock to deal a new row of cards to the tableau.

• There is no redeal.

Alternate name for Spider solitaire: Roosevelt's Favourite.
