A more flexible stock rule
A few details help explain this feature. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls. The game still uses 104 cards in ten columns. The objective remains eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs. Relaxed Spider on unclesc.com permits stock deals while columns are empty.
Deal into empty columns
Here are the details for this mode. An empty column no longer prevents a stock deal in this variant. 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. A stock card dealt to an empty column becomes that column's first face-up card.
Ten columns and a stock
Keep these points in mind. Only the bottom card of each opening column is face up. The stock contains fifty cards for five later deals. The opening tableau contains 54 cards. The first four columns have six cards each and the remaining six have five.
Move a single card
Keep these points in mind. A King needs an empty destination because no rank is higher. 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.
Move a group
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 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.
Keep space available
A few details help explain this feature. You may preserve an empty column until you decide to deal from the stock. Empty columns remain useful for separating temporary mixed builds. Any exposed card or legal same-suit group can occupy an empty column. A new stock row fills every empty column with one card.
Stock deals are still shared
Keep these points in mind. Undo restores the previous arrangement when the stock-deal snapshot is available. You cannot direct an individual stock card to a chosen destination. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns. Dealing can block an existing sequence as well as reveal new combinations.
Collect matching runs
The following details apply here. Eight collected runs are required to finish Relaxed Spider. Changing the number of suits does not change the number of required runs. A complete run contains thirteen face-up cards in one suit from King to Ace. The game removes a complete run automatically at the bottom of a column.
Try another decision
Keep these points in mind. Random relaxed deals are not presented as guaranteed solvable. New game creates a fresh shuffle in the selected suit setting. Hints identify legal options without guaranteeing a win. Replay restores the same shuffle for another attempt.
Separate variant progress
A few details help explain this feature. 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. Each relaxed suit setting has its own current local game. My Statistics displays relaxed starts and wins in separate rows.
