Basic Knowledge
Difference between Spider and Klondike
Spider Solitaire uses 2 decks (104 cards) and requires matching sequences of 13 cards (K through A) of the same suit. Klondike uses 1 deck (52 cards) and requires 4 foundation piles. They differ in deck size, card layout, and stacking rules.
- Number of cards used：Spider Solitaire deals 54 cards from 2 decks into 10 columns, while Klondike deals 28 cards from 1 deck into 7 columns
- Stacking rules：Spider Solitaire allows any card to stack on one with a value 1 higher, regardless of suit. Klondike requires alternating red and black colors
Difference between 1, 2, and 4 suits
Difficulty depends on the number of suits used. 1 suit is 104 Spades only; 2 suits are 52 Spades and 52 Hearts; 4 suits are 26 cards each of all four suits
- Conditions for moving multiple cards at once：Only cards in descending sequence of the same suit can move as a group. More suits means sequences break more easily
- Difficulty guidelines：1 suit is easiest because all cards match in suit, making long sequences simple. 4 suits is hardest because you need 13 cards of the exact same suit
When you cannot deal from stock
Stock deals only when every column has at least one card. If any column is empty, you cannot deal, making when to fill empty columns a key strategy
- Cards dealt per turn：Each stock deal places exactly one card face-up in each of the 10 columns (10 cards total). The initial 50-card stock is completely dealt in 5 turns
