Welcome to the amazing world of solitaire! Spider is one of the most played patience games in the world. Now you can enjoy it anytime, and anywhere, on your mobile phone or tablet. Share your Spider scores with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. From Odesys, the makers of the best solitaire games for mobile. The goal of Spider Solitaire is to arrange all cards into complete suits in descending order from King to Ace. Every complete suit of 13 cards is discarded automatically as soon as it is created. The board consists of 10 stacks and a stock. Moves to a stack must be made in descending order regardless of suit. Any card can be moved to an empty slot. A sequence of properly ordered cards of the same suit can be moved together. Odesys Spider Features: • Three levels of difficulty - One, Two and Four suits • Bonus games - Black Widow and Tarantula • Landscape and portrait orientation • Unlimited undo and redo • Solvable deals only mode • Adjustable cards size (pinch-to-resize) • Sound • Hints • Auto save on exit • Animations Follow us on Twitter: @OdesysSolitaire Look for other great patience games by Odesys. If you like the classics, you would love Klondike Solitaire, FreeCell Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, or its lesser known variations, Black Widow Solitaire and Tarantula Solitaire. You might also like to try Pyramid Solitaire, or its somewhat easier variation, Seven Solitaire, or the completely open Giza Solitaire. No solitaire collection would be complete without the unique Golf Solitaire, the addictive Yukon Solitaire, or its almost impossible to solve cousin, Russian Solitaire.
