Setup
Spider Solitaire is played with two decks of cards(104 cards), all cards are of the same suit. Here’s how to set up the game:
- 54 cards are dealt into 10 tableau piles: The first four piles receive 6 cards each, while the remaining six piles get 5 cards each.
- The top card of each pile is dealt face up, while the other cards are dealt face down.
- The remaining 50 cards are placed in the stock pile.
Objective
The goal is to fill 8 empty foundations by creating card sequences in the tableau in descending order from King to Ace. Once a sequence is complete, move it to one of the empty foundations. The game is won when all foundations are filled, and no cards remain in the tableau or stock pile.
