A more flexible stock rule
The game still uses 104 cards in ten columns. Relaxed Spider on hainanweilai.com permits stock deals while columns are empty. The objective remains eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls.
The relaxed difference
A few details help explain this feature. A stock card dealt to an empty column becomes that column's first face-up card. The relaxed stock rule does not change the rank requirement for ordinary moves. The relaxed stock rule does not allow mixed-suit groups to move together. An empty column no longer prevents a stock deal in this variant.
Ten columns and a stock
The stock contains fifty cards for five later deals. The first four columns have six cards each and the remaining six have five. The opening tableau contains 54 cards. Only the bottom card of each opening column is face up.
Descending rank placement
The following details apply here. 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. An Ace cannot receive a lower-ranked card. A King needs an empty destination because no rank is higher.
Move a group
A few details help explain this feature. Same-suit building can reduce the work needed to separate mixed sequences later. A break in rank prevents the entire selected group from moving together. A suit change can leave a smaller movable group at the bottom of a column. A descending group moves as a unit only when every selected card shares a suit.
Keep space available
A few details help explain this feature. A new stock row fills every empty column with one card. Empty columns remain useful for separating temporary mixed builds. 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.
Stock deals are still shared
The following details apply here. 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. Dealing can block an existing sequence as well as reveal new combinations.
Collect matching runs
The following details apply here. A complete run contains thirteen face-up cards in one suit from King to Ace. Eight collected runs are required to finish Relaxed Spider. The game removes a complete run automatically at the bottom of a column. Changing the number of suits does not change the number of required runs.
Try another decision
Keep these points in mind. Replay restores the same shuffle for another attempt. Hints identify legal options without guaranteeing a win. Random relaxed deals are not presented as guaranteed solvable. New game creates a fresh shuffle in the selected suit setting.
Resume locally
Keep these points in mind. Each relaxed suit setting has its own current local game. My Statistics displays relaxed starts and wins in separate rows. Relaxed Spider keeps its saved games separate from standard Spider when saving is enabled. Privacy & Cookie Settings lets you turn saving off or clear local records.
