Spiderette |

1 Deck. Hard (15%). Skill/luck balanced. Object To group all the cards in sets of 13 cards in sequence down in suit from King to Ace. Layout
• | 7 tableau piles - build down regardless of suit. Groups of cards in sequence down in suit may be moved as a unit. A space can be filled by any card or legal group of cards. At the start of the game 1 card is dealt to the first pile, 2 cards to the 2nd, and so on. The top card is face up.
• | stock (above the tableau) - clicking deals 1 card to each tableau pile. All empty spaces must be filled before a deal.
Notes
• | Whenever a sequence of 13 cards down in suit from King to Ace is formed, it will automatically be removed from play.
• | Since pure Spiderette is fairly difficult to win, the full version of Goodsol Solitaire 101 provides a bonus game, Baby Spiderette, which is considerably easier than regular Spiderette. In Baby Spiderette, the tableau is the same as regular Spiderette, as are all the rules except one. In Baby Spiderette, you are allowed to move a group of cards as a block if they are in sequence down regardless of suit. In Spiderette, they must all be down in suit. This makes it easier to move cards around, and easier to win the game.
Tips
• | Same suit sequences should be preferred even though building is down regardless of suit. The object is to build down in suit sequences.
