Whether you prefer weaving patterns, sweeping valley formations, or tight tactical stacking, there’s a style of play to match every mood.
How to Play
• Plait Solitaire
◦ Two decks are used.
◦ Eight foundation piles must be built up in-suit, starting from the same rank chosen by the first foundation card.
◦ Work through twelve tableau stacks and two special “plait” piles, uncovering cards and weaving sequences downward by suit.
◦ Win by moving all 104 cards into the foundations.
• Valley Solitaire
◦ Uses two decks and features a valley-shaped tableau layout.
◦ Build foundations from Ace through King, one per suit.
◦ In the tableau, build down in alternating colors; empty spaces can only be filled with Kings.
◦ Clear the tableau by carefully moving sequences, flipping cards, and planning ahead until all cards are placed in the eight foundations.
• Spade Solitaire (1-suit Spider variant)
◦ Uses two decks consisting of a single suit (spades), dealt into 10 tableau columns.
◦ Build sequences down by rank in-suit (e.g., placing 9 of spades on 10 of spades). You may move any correctly ordered in-suit group together.
◦ When every column has at least one card, deal one card from stock to each column.
◦ Complete King-to-Ace runs (all spades) to remove them from the tableau; remove all eight runs to win.
