Read full descriptionHide full description
Spider Solitaire the way it should be: a clean green felt table, cards that really deal and flip, and nothing standing between you and the next run. Two decks, 104 cards, eight sequences to build from King down to Ace. Clear them all and the board is yours. FEATURES - Three difficulties. One suit to warm up, two suits for a real game, four suits when you want a fight. - Drag a card where you want it, or just tap it and let it find its own spot. - Undo any move. Auto Arrange tidies up same-suit sequences for you in one step. - Scoring that keeps you sharp: you start at 500, lose 1 point per move, and earn 100 for every completed King-to-Ace run. A timer runs alongside. - A local top 10 for each difficulty, plus Game Center leaderboards you can browse right inside the app, switching between Global and Friends to see how you stack up against everyone else. - Challenge a friend on Game Center to beat your score, straight from the ranking screen or the moment you win. - Resume anytime. The game auto-saves, so you can close the app in the middle of a hand and pick up exactly where you left off. - Realistic dealing and flipping animations, refined typography, and sound effects with a volume control you actually get to set. - Portrait or landscape, on iPhone and iPad. - No ads. No account. No internet connection required. Whether you have five minutes in line or a long quiet evening, the table is already set. Just cards, felt, and one more deal.
