Rules for Spider One Suit Solitaire

Play Spider One Suit

Description:

Spider with nothing but spades, spades, spades, as far as the eye can see.

I don't really get this game. It's just Spider minus half the interestingness. Spider for dummies?

Cards:

Eight decks each containing only one suit of spades.

Goal:

Sort all cards on the tableau downwards in the same suit.

Tableau:

Ten tableau piles of cards, arranged as below, where "D" indicates a face-down card and "U" indicates a face-up card:
  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
 -----------------------------
  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D
  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D
  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D
  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D  D
  D  D  D  D  U  U  U  U  U  U
  U  U  U  U                  

A card may be added onto a tableau pile if it is one lower than the old top card of the pile and of any suit.Thus, the only card that could be played on a 5♠ would be a 4♠.

Cards on the tableau that are not under another card are available for play onto any other tableau pile.

Empty spaces in the tableau may be filled by any card.

Groups of cards in sequence down may be moved from one tableau column to another if all cards are of the same suit.

Stock:

The remaining cards form the stock.

Each time you click on the stock, a card will be dealt on top of each tableau pile. The tableau piles must be filled before you can deal cards.

Spider (Play) (Rules)
On the 10 tableau piles you can build down regardless of suit, but you can only move single suit sequences. When you click on the stock, one card will be dealt to each tableau pile. Single cards cannot be moved to the foundation, only complete sequences.

Spider Two Suits (Play) (Rules)
The name says it all: Spider with only two suits.
