Spider Solitaire: learn through an example
Take a moment to read the table. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
One thing to notice as you play
