Spider Solitaire DS A One-player card game that has gained popularity since being included as a default game on the Windows Operating System. The basic idea of the game is to get piles of cards from K to A of the same suit. There are 104 cards with the possibility of playing with either 1 suit, 2 suits, or 4 suits.

Rules of Spider Solitaire
To start, 54 cards are dealt face-down over 10 piles with the top-most card of each pile face-up.
You then have 50 cards left (giving a total of 104 cards in the game) that can be dealt 10 at a time as long as there are no empty piles.
The objective then is to clear the deck by arranging cards of the same suit into piles of King to Ace. When you do, it is automatically removed from play (and placed at the bottom left of the screen).
Only in-sequence piles of the same suit can be selected and moved.
However, this selection can be placed on any face-up in-sequence card. For example, a 6 can be placed on any 7 regardless of suit as long as it is face-up.
