Also move the cards in these columns so they are same suited as much as possible. In each deal develop as many empty columns as you can and then organize them from highest to lowest in each column as best as you can. This way of playing eliminates all guess work, and is the most challenging and fun way to play four card solitaire.Īs for tips, the ones above are very good. If you do not use the undo key then my estimate is the best you will ever do is win one out of ten. Effectively you play out every possible scenario every time you deal the cards, until you get the optimum result, which is usually but not always the most cards played.
Of course to do this you have to take the guessing out of the game by using the undo key (Ctrl Z). Average time is a half hour but the very tough games have taken up to 21/2 hours (which I usually play and re-play over several days). When I first started playing I was winning a third of my games, then two-thirds, but now I effectively win them all. About a quarter of the games I have had to re-play, the very tough ones I might re-play up to 5-6 times. I now think if I had kept re-playing the game I lost I eventually would have won it as well. As of now I am on a 56 game win streak and before that had a 31 game win streak. *** 2nd comment - I believe every game of four card spider solitaire is winnable. For every game I win, I have to play that game from 8 to 10 times to get it right - you can imagine how many times I play other games without winning.Īs a final word, I'm not sure it's worth playing, although it makes two-suit SS look like childs'-play. Unfortunately, the difficulty level is so high, and so dependant upon luck, that playing is more discouraging than enjoyable. The "priority metric" one must operate on is 1 - Develop empty columns 2 - Develop columns King-to-Ace without regard to suit, but not "burying" cards still unturned 3 - Organize columns in King-to-Ace order and in like suits and finally, 4 - Send finished columns to "done" stack.Īs with two-suit Spider Solitaire, continual "cleaning up" (organizing) and taking advantage of every play as early as possible (this might be the true secret to success in all Spider Solitaire) is extremely important. The creators of the game may disagree, but that is my experience. Unfortunately, the ability to improve with experience/skill is highly diminished, and luck plays a much greater part. If you are not satisfied with the progress, you may click the Give Up button at the bottom left corner of the screen to quit the current game.In a word, yes, you can win at four-suit Spider Solitaire. 10 points will be deducted for each move you have made.
If no more moves can be made, you can click a stock pile to deal new cards, but note that this can only be done when all tableau piles are occupied by cards. An empty tableau pile can be occupied by any card. The downturned cards on the tableau piles will reveal when the upturned cards are removed.
A group of cards built down by suit or a single card can be moved to another tableau pile if the move itself is in sequence, for example, a 3 of spades and a 2 of spades can be moved to a 4 of hearts on another tableau pile.
The remaining cards will be downturned and divided into 6 stock piles at the bottom right corner. Each of the tableau piles will then be dealt 1 upturned card. The game starts with 10 tableau piles, with each of the four piles on the left contains 4 downturned cards and each of the remaining piles contains 3 downturned cards. Demonstrate your skilled play and become the final winner! In 4-suit Spider Solitaire, your goal is to arrange the cards by suit from K to A so that they can be removed.
