A tableau of seven columns of cards is arranged on the table with the top card face up; the remaining cards forming a draw pile. 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. It is fundamentally different from most solitaire games because a very few hands are unsolvable. Pyramid, 3 Peaks * and Everest * have the same goal, remove all the cards from the pyramids. In Everest and Pyramid the cards are removed in pairs of the same value or that the sum is 13, in the 3 peaks the cards are individually removed in the sequence mode. * Only available for subscribers.
