The objective of a round
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
The controls to know
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Work through an example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
