How to Play Spider Solitaire 1 Suit

Rules

Spider Solitaire 1 Suit rules are identical to classic Spider:

• Tableau piles are built down in the same suit(e.g., a 9♠ on a 10♠).
• One card or a sequence of cards in the correct order can be moved as a group.
• Any card can be placed in an empty tableau spot.
• When no moves are available, draw 10 cards from the stock with each tableau pile receiving 1 card.
• There is no stock re-deal.

Objective

The goal of Spider Solitaire (1 Suit) is to arrange all the cards in descending sequences from King to Ace within the tableau, and then move these completed sequences to the foundations. The game is won when all foundations are completed.

Setup

• Spider Solitaire 1 Suit uses two standard 52-card decks (104 cards), but only one suit is used (usually Spades).

• 54 cards are dealt face down into 10 tableau piles:

  • The first four piles have 6 cards each, and the remaining six piles have 5 cards each.
  • Only the top card of each tableau is dealt face up.

• The remaining 50 cards form the stock pile, which is placed face down.

Variations

• Spider Solitaire - classic Spider Solitaire game.
• Spider Solitaire (2 Suits) - more challenging version where two suits are used instead of one.
• Spider Solitaire (4 Suits) - the most difficult Spider Solitaire version with four suits.
