Spider Solitaire Card Game
Spider is a challenging (and time-consuming) game using two decks which was supposedly the favorite solitaire of FDR. While Spider has the usual objective of arranging all suits in order, Spider does not provide a stack for each suit to be assembled in. Instead, the suits must be ordered in the building stacks and are then moved to a discard pile. The game is won when all cards in both decks are in the discard pile. Stacks in Spider can be built with any suit, but multiple cards moved between stacks must all have the same suit. Several non-standard options have been implemented to make the game less daunting for beginners.

Please allow time for the game to load.
Clicking on these buttons will perform the following actions:
New Game - Begin a new game after shuffling the pack
Restart - Return to the original state of the current game
Undo - Return to the condition before the previous move was made
Options - Bring up a box with the following options:
# of cards in stacks - Determines the number of cards initially in the building stacks. The default is six in the first four stacks and five in the remainder. The number can be varied from between 2 and 7. A smaller number will result in a more winnable game. A new game must be started for this option to take effect.
# of free cells - Sets the number of free cells. The free cells will appear on the right side of the upper row. Up to four free cells can be used. Using free cells will facilitate rearrangement of the stacks into natural builds.
Automatic moving - If this checkbox is set (which is the default), a natural build containing all thirteen cards in a suit will be moved automatically to the discard pile.
Allow unfilled spaces before draw - Setting this checkbox will not require that all building stacks contain at least one card before accepting a card from the stock.
Allow kings on aces - If this option is set, the ranks will wrap around and kings can be placed on aces. Normally, no card can be placed on top of an ace.
