Featured Game - Fred's Spider
--------------------------------------------
Fred's Spider is a two deck, easy variation of Spider.
At
the start of the game 5 cards each are dealt face up to 10 tableau
piles. Then remaining cards go face down and form a stock. There are
eight foundation piles. The object is to build the foundation piles up
in suit from Ace to King to win the game.
In the tableau, the
piles are built down regardless of suit. But as in Spider, you can only
move groups of cards if they are in sequence down in suit. You will
want to prefer building down in suit then, when possible.
When
all plays have been made, clicking on the stock deals one card to each
tableau pile, burying the existing cards, as in regular Spider.
Fred's Spider is easy to play and can be won nearly every time, making it one of the easiest of the Spider type games.
Fred's
Spider was invented by Fred Lunde. Fred's Spider is one of the 610
solitaire games in Pretty Good Solitaire. It can be downloaded from <http://www.goodsol.com/download.html>.
