@gametitle["Spider" "spider" "Solitaire Card Game"]
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 @onscreen{Options} item in the @onscreen{Edit}
menu.)
Terminology:
@itemize[
@item{@deftech{Tableau}: one of the ten stacks of cards in the play
area. The game starts with six cards in the first four
@tech{tableau}s, 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 @tech{tableau}.}
@item{@deftech{Sequence}: a group of cards on the top of a
@tech{tableau} that are in the same suit, and that are in
@tech{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 @tech{sequence} with ace through
king, at which point the @tech{sequence} is removed from play. Create
eight such @tech{sequence}s to win the game.
On each move, you can take one of the following actions:
@itemize[
@item{Move a @tech{sequence} from any @tech{tableau} to one whose
topmost card (i.e., closest to the bottom of the screen) has a
value that's one more than the @tech{sequence}'s value. Note that
if the top card of the target @tech{tableau} has the same suit as
the @tech{sequence}, a larger @tech{sequence} is formed, but the
target @tech{tableau}'s card is not required to have the same suit.}
@item{Move a @tech{sequence} to an empty @tech{tableau}.}
@item{Deal ten cards from the deck (in the upper left corder), one to
each @tech{tableau}. This move is allowed only if no
@tech{tableau} is empty.}
]
To move a @tech{sequence}, either drag it to the target
@tech{tableau}, or click the @tech{sequence} and then click the top
card of the target @tech{tableau} (or the place where a single card
would be for an empty @tech{tableau}). Click a select card to
de-select it. Clicking a card that is not a valid target for the
currently selected @tech{sequence} causes the clicked card's
@tech{sequence} to be selected (if the card is face up in a
@tech{sequence}).
To deal, click the deck.
To undo a move, use @onscreen{Undo} from the @onscreen{Edit} menu.
