The lesson in words
Spider has ten columns. Only the top cards are face up; the rest turn over as you clear the cards above them. The deck waits to deal more rows.
The goal is to build complete runs from King down to Ace in one suit. Each one is cleared away. Clear eight to win. The lessons show just part of a game, with two suits.
You can move a card onto any card one rank higher, in any suit.
Try it: Move the 7â„ onto an 8.
A run that is in order and all one suit moves as a block.
Try it: Move the 9â„ 8â„ together onto a 10.
Any suit to build, one suit to move. Next: a quick rules check.
Questions
Can the 8â 7â„ move together?
No. Only same-suit runs move as a block. Youâd have to move the 7â„ first.
When youâre stuck, you deal a new row: one card on every column. What do you need first?
Every column needs at least one card before you deal.
