The challenge in front of you
Build eight suit foundations from ace to king. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How a round unfolds
- Move one card at a time; build down in the same suit. Empty columns accept one card.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
See how the rules apply
A club 5 can move onto a club 6, but a whole run cannot move together. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Where a round can go wrong
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
