Spider Solitaire: how a round works
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Take a moment to read the table. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
