Depending on the variation (such as 2 Suits or 4 Suits), these sequences need to be in the same suit. Spider Solitaire is won when all cards are removed from the tableau in complete sequences from King to Ace. Each column must have a minimum of one card in it before new cards can be dealt from the stockpile. When needed, these cards are dealt onto each of the ten columns, adding a new card to the top of each column. The remaining 50 cards form the stockpile, which comes into play when no further moves are available.This strategic element allows for more maneuvering options within the game. If a column in the tableau is emptied, it becomes a space where any card or sequence can be placed.Complete or partial sequences can also be moved as a unit to continue or create new sequences. Cards may be positioned atop another card with a greater rank.
The main objective is to create complete descending sequences of cards according to suit, ranging from Kings to Aces.
Spider Solitaire utilizes two complete sets of standard 52-card decks, comprising a total of 104 cards for the game.
