Spider type; 2 decks; no redeal
- Game time: Medium
- Difficulty level: Easy
- Skill level: Difficult

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, 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.
