Spider Solitaire Pro

Spider Solitaire Pro runs on two decks and drops the foundation piles entirely. Everything happens in the tableau, where you build downward runs instead of sorting cards away into corners, and suit does not have to match for a card to sit on another. That sounds forgiving, and for the first few minutes it is.

Where it bites is the stock. Adding a row costs you nothing except that it lands on every pile at once, including the tidy one you spent ten moves building. Running out of legal moves is the normal state of this game rather than a failure, so the skill is in emptying a column early and keeping somewhere free to work before you tap the stock again.

How to play

Move cards onto a card one rank higher to build runs going down - a six onto a seven, a seven onto an eight. Suits do not need to match while you are arranging, so use any column that fits. When no move is left, click the stock to deal a new row onto every pile, which is why an empty column is worth holding on to. Clear all the stacks to win.

Controls

Click and drag a card, or the run below it, onto the column where you want it. Click the stock in the corner to deal one more row across the tableau when you are out of moves.
