** To play _Spider_, run the "Games" application. **
|
|
|
|
Spider is a solitaire card game played with 104 cards. The cards can
|
|
include either a single suit, two suits, or four suites. (Choose your
|
|
variant through the "Options" item in the "Edit" menu.)
|
|
|
|
Terminology:
|
|
|
|
* Tableau: one of the ten stacks of cards in the play area. The game
|
|
starts with six cards in the first four tableaus, and five cards in
|
|
the rest; only the topmost card is face up, and others are revealed
|
|
when they become the topmost card of the tableau.
|
|
|
|
* Sequence: a group of cards on the top of a tableau that are in the
|
|
same suit, and that are in sequence, with the lowest numbered card
|
|
topmost (i.e., closer to the bottom of the screen). King is high
|
|
and ace is low.
|
|
|
|
The object of the game is to create a sequence with ace through king,
|
|
at which point the sequence is removed from play. Create eight such
|
|
sequences to win the game.
|
|
|
|
On each move, you can either:
|
|
|
|
* Move a sequence from any tableau to one whose topmost card (i.e.,
|
|
closest to the bottom of the screen) has a value that's one more
|
|
than the sequence's value. Note that if the top card of the target
|
|
tableau has the same suit as the sequence, a larger sequence is
|
|
formed, but the target tableau's card is not required to have the
|
|
same suit.
|
|
|
|
* Move a sequence to an empty tableau.
|
|
|
|
* Deal ten cards from the deck (in the upper left corder), one to
|
|
each tableau. This move is allowed only if no tableau is empty.
|
|
|
|
To move a sequence, either drag it to the target tableau, or click the
|
|
sequence and then click the top card of the target tableau (or the
|
|
place where a single card would be for an empty tableau). Click a
|
|
select card to de-select it. Clicking a card that is not a valid
|
|
target for the currently selected sequence causes the clicked card's
|
|
sequence to be selected (if the card is face up in a sequence).
|
|
|
|
To deal, click the deck.
|
|
|
|
To undo a move, use "Undo" from the "Edit" menu.
