Read full descriptionHide full description
Remember when card games came with green felt, crisp white cards and a triumphant cascade when you won? Spider Solitaire1998 is a loving, faithful recreation of the spider solitaire everyone played in the late '90s — with the exact same rules, scoring and feel. THE GAME YOU REMEMBER - Two full decks, 104 cards, 10 columns — dealt 6/6/6/6 and 5×6, just like the original - Three difficulties: one suit (easy), two suits (medium), four suits (hard) - Classic scoring: start at 500, −1 per move, +100 per completed sequence - Stack any card on the next rank up; move groups only in same-suit runs - The stock deals a full row — and stays locked while a column is empty - Unlimited undo, cycling hints, and double-tap to auto-move - The legendary victory card cascade (you earned it) MADE FOR TODAY - One purchase, five platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro - Real 3D cards rendered with RealityKit — on Vision Pro the table has true depth - Per-difficulty statistics: games, wins, streaks, best score and best time - Original hand-crafted retro artwork, subtle sounds and haptics - VoiceOver support and 8 languages - No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Fully offline. Pour a coffee, pick your suits, and lose yourself in the most relaxing puzzle of 1998.
