How to Play Spider Solitaire 4 Suits

Rules

• 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.
• Once a full sequence from King to Ace is built in the same suit, it is moved to the foundation.
• 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 objective is to complete 8 sequences down by color within the tableau. Once a sequence is complete, move it to one of the empty foundations. You win the game when all foundations are filled and there are no cards left in the tableau.

Setup

• 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.
