The goal is to move all 52 cards in the deck into four suit-specific foundation stacks. The main objective of the Spider Solitaire is to remove all the cards from the table by creating descending sequence of the same suit, from King (K) to Ace (A). When a sequence is completely formed it is automatically removed from the game. FreeCell is a solitaire-based card game played with a 52-card standard deck.
