super-charged, double-deck card game called Spider Solitaire. The goal is to line up all
eight suits in order from King to Ace. Not every game is winnable, but strategy is crucial
if you plan to win. The best secret? Spider Solitaire has an Undo commandso if there
are two or more possibilities, use Undo to try them both and choose the most advantageous.
The only time you cant use Undo is when youve dealt a new row, so save the
game just before you deal and you can always revert to the saved game. |
