NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Welcome to Relaxed Spider

Keep these points in mind. The objective remains eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs. Relaxed Spider on snbdavid.com permits stock deals while columns are empty. The game still uses 104 cards in ten columns. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls.

Deal into empty columns

Keep these points in mind. An empty column no longer prevents a stock deal in this variant. The relaxed stock rule does not change the rank requirement for ordinary moves. A stock card dealt to an empty column becomes that column's first face-up card. The relaxed stock rule does not allow mixed-suit groups to move together.

Read the opening

A few details help explain this feature. The stock contains fifty cards for five later deals. The opening tableau contains 54 cards. Only the bottom card of each opening column is face up. The first four columns have six cards each and the remaining six have five.

Move a single card

An exposed card may land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. An Ace cannot receive a lower-ranked card. A King needs an empty destination because no rank is higher. The two cards do not need to share a suit for a single-card placement.

Follow one suit

Here are the details for this mode. A suit change can leave a smaller movable group at the bottom of a column. Same-suit building can reduce the work needed to separate mixed sequences later. A descending group moves as a unit only when every selected card shares a suit. A break in rank prevents the entire selected group from moving together.

Keep space available

Here are the details for this mode. Any exposed card or legal same-suit group can occupy an empty column. Empty columns remain useful for separating temporary mixed builds. You may preserve an empty column until you decide to deal from the stock. A new stock row fills every empty column with one card.

Bring in another row

Here are the details for this mode. Dealing can block an existing sequence as well as reveal new combinations. Undo restores the previous arrangement when the stock-deal snapshot is available. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns. You cannot direct an individual stock card to a chosen destination.

Clear the table

Keep these points in mind. The game removes a complete run automatically at the bottom of a column. Eight collected runs are required to finish Relaxed Spider. A complete run contains thirteen face-up cards in one suit from King to Ace. Changing the number of suits does not change the number of required runs.

Try another decision

Here are the details for this mode. Replay restores the same shuffle for another attempt. Hints identify legal options without guaranteeing a win. New game creates a fresh shuffle in the selected suit setting. Random relaxed deals are not presented as guaranteed solvable.

Resume locally

A few details help explain this feature. Relaxed Spider keeps its saved games separate from standard Spider when saving is enabled. My Statistics displays relaxed starts and wins in separate rows. Privacy & Cookie Settings lets you turn saving off or clear local records. Each relaxed suit setting has its own current local game.
