Huge Spider Solitaire

Huge Spider Solitaire
Game Description: This card game begins with 20 cards dealt face up, 88 cards dealt face down and 100 cards remain in the deck. Group all the cards in sets of 13 cards in sequence and in suit down from King to Ace. A complete group will be removed from the tableau. On the tableau build down regardless of suit. Groups of cards in sequence and down in suit may be moved as a group. A space can be filled with any card or group. Click on the stack to deal extra cards on the tableau. You have 1 hour to remove all 208 cards!

How to Play Huge Spider Solitaire:
  • There are 20 stacks of cards.
  • Any single card at the bottom of a stack may be moved to the bottom of a different stack provided that card is one rank higher. For example, any 3 may be moved on top of any 4 regardless of suit.
  • Cards at the bottom of a stack may be moved as a group if they are in sequence and in suit. For example, the 2, 3, and 4 of diamonds could be moved on top of any 5.
  • An empty space can be filled with any bottom card or group.
  • Any group of the same suit from King to Ace will be removed from the layout and you will earn points.
  • When you need extra cards click the deck in the upper left corner. 20 cards will be dealt, one each to the bottom of each stack. Note: You cannot deal additional cards if you have one or more empty spaces. That is, you must have at least 1 card face up on each stack to receive additional cards.
  • Your goal is to remove all 208 cards from the layout before time runs out. You have 60 minutes. You will also receive bonus points for any time remaining on the clock!

Huge Spider Solitaire Game Options:

  • Click the full-screen button to play the game in full-screen mode.
  • Click the sound button to turn the game sounds on or off.
  • Click the music button to turn the music on or off.

Huge Spider Solitaire Playing Tips:
  • Begin by building groups of cards in suit and sequence wherever possible.
  • Next, when you can no longer match suits, start building cards by rank regardless of suit. Start from the highest ranked cards and work your way down. For example, if you have cards such as the king of clubs, the queen of hearts, and the jack of clubs you would first move the queen and then the jack. This allows you to make two moves instead of just one.
  • Your goal early on should be to turn over as many of the 88 face down cards as possible before dealing extra cards to the stacks even if this takes more time. In fact, in round one, I would say it is probably best to exhaust all of the different moves before dealing more cards.
  • Try to create one or more free spaces. This will greatly increase your maneuverability. Also notice in the layout that the left 8 stacks on the upper row have 5 face down cards while the other 12 stacks have only 4 face down cards. This means generally that it will be easier, most of the time, to create a free space on those 12 stacks but of course it depends on each individual game.
  • Whenever you create large stacks of cards try to do this on a free space, that is, on a stack with no face down cards. It may not be possible to do this very early on in the game but try to do so as early as possible. The reason for this is evident. You are playing against the clock and it will take a lot of moves, and a lot of time, to unstack a large group of cards to get to one or more face down cards underneath.
  • If you do have a large stack of cards try moving any card or group of cards from the bottom slightly; then put it back. This will allow you to see what the next card in the stack is should you be unable to tell.
  • Try to create full groups from King to Ace. Not only will this earn you points it will also remove those 13 cards from the layout. This will make it easier to see the remaining cards.
  • Do play the game on full-screen mode.
  • Don't forget to use your Undo button. You can use it up to 3 times per game.
  • Do turn off the music. I personally find it very distracting.
  • Don't be too concerned about the time the first few times you play the game. Just consider this practice while you learn the game. After playing once or twice you will learn to pace yourself.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: I do enjoy playing Huge Spider Solitaire but my only complaint is that it is really difficult to see the cards in a large stack even while playing in full-screen mode. You can make out the suit but it is very hard to see the ranks of each card.
