Microsoft Spider Solitaire


MS Spider Solitaire is a card game that is included in recent versions of Microsoft Windows. It is a version of Spider. It was first included in Microsoft Plus! for Windows 98 and has since been included in Windows Me, Windows XP and subsequently Windows Vista.

The object of Spider Solitaire is to remove cards from play in the fewest moves possible. Line up runs of cards from king through ace in the same suit to remove them. At higher difficulty settings, you can also alternate red and black suits to line up, turn over, and move cards, but you still need runs to remove cards.

This version allows the user to choose one of three difficulty settings. Easy mode is played with eight sets (Ace through King) of Spades; Medium mode uses four sets each of Hearts and Spades; and Hard mode is played with two standard decks. Microsoft Spider Solitaire allows moves to be retracted, except when dealing a new row or completing a run (ace to king sequence, which is then removed.) Any number of moves can be retracted, back to the last non-retractable move. Therefore, a possible strategy is to expose as many face-down cards as possible, retracting afterward, before choosing a move.
