AcidSpider for Windows
Acid Spider is based on the popular Spider style solitaire card game.
All Acid Spider 1-suit, 2-suit and 4-suit games are winnable.
The goal of Acid Spider is to win every game. If you don't win the first time, undo your moves and try again. Acid Spider keeps track of every move you make. Advanced hint system allows you to cycle through possible moves and request hints as needed. Track various stats as you play and try to keep your Win Percentage at 100%! Acid Spider includes a step-by-step tutorial to walk through the basics. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to improve their strategy.
Basic Spider Rules:
Each home cell will hold a stack of one suit of cards. Only a complete stack of cards, King through Ace, can move to the home cell. Individual cards can't move to the home cells on their own. There are 104 cards in Acid Spider - more that one deck. This means you will see multiple cards with the same number and suit when playing. If you are playing 1-suit Acid Spider, all cards will have the same suit - but there will still be 104 cards in play. When a new game is started, the cards will be dealt into ten columns. Cards that are not dealt are available in the Deck Stack in the upper-left. To move a card, single-click or double-click on it and it will move to the best destination. You can also drag and drop cards to where you want it to go. The goal is to move all cards to the eight home cells. Home cell stacks each contain one full suit of cards. No cards will move to a home cell until a complete set (King through Ace) is created in the playfield. When a complete set is made, all 13 cards in that set will atuomatically move to a home cell. You may move cards according to these rules: 1. Cards must be placed in descending -value order. Any 3 can be placed on any 4, for example regardless of suit. 2. Multiple cards can be moved if they are in descending value order, and if their suits all match. 3. Any movable cards can be moved to an empty column. 4. A full suit of 13 cards, King through Ace, will move to a home cell automatically. The only way to get any cards to a home cell is by creating a complete set of cards of the same suit, in descending order. 5. You may deal cards at any time. Ten cards will be dealt at a time, one to each column. Enjoy Acid Spider - once you get the hang of it, you will not be able to stop playing!
