A more flexible stock rule

A few details help explain this feature. Relaxed Spider on kaibai15.com permits stock deals while columns are empty. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls. The objective remains eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs. The game still uses 104 cards in ten columns.

Deal into empty columns

A few details help explain this feature. 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. An empty column no longer prevents a stock deal in this variant. The relaxed stock rule does not allow mixed-suit groups to move together.

Read the opening

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

Descending rank placement

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

Follow one suit

Keep these points in mind. 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 suit change can leave a smaller movable group at the bottom of a column. A break in rank prevents the entire selected group from moving together.

Keep space available

Any exposed card or legal same-suit group can occupy an empty column. You may preserve an empty column until you decide to deal from the stock. Empty columns remain useful for separating temporary mixed builds. 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. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns. Undo restores the previous arrangement when the stock-deal snapshot is available. You cannot direct an individual stock card to a chosen destination.

Collect matching runs

The following details apply here. Changing the number of suits does not change the number of required runs. 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.

Practice the variant

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

Resume locally

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