Playing Spider Solitaire with One Deck
Spider Solitaire is traditionally played with two decks, but you can enjoy a simplified version using a single deck of cards. Click here to play Spider Solitaire! and experience the online version right in your browser.
Setup
To set up Spider Solitaire with one deck, follow these steps:
Take a step towards victory!
- Shuffle your deck thoroughly.
- Deal 28 cards into seven columns, starting with one card in the first column, two in the second, and so on, until the seventh column has seven cards. Only the top card in each column should be face-up.
- The remaining cards form your stockpile for future use.
Gameplay
The objective is to build sequences of cards in descending order from King to Ace. You can move cards between columns, but only face-up cards or fully completed sequences can be moved. If you get stuck, draw additional cards from the stockpile to add a new face-up card to each column. Remember, playing Spider Solitaire online offers an opportunity to explore different strategies and enjoy a more interactive experience.
Tips
- Focus on uncovering face-down cards to increase your playable space.
- Try to complete sequences within a single suit for easier management.
- Utilize the stockpile wisely, especially when dealing with fewer cards.
