A more flexible stock rule
Here are the details for this mode. The game still uses 104 cards in ten columns. The objective remains eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs. Relaxed Spider on gzsupports.com permits stock deals while columns are empty. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls.
Deal into empty columns
Here are the details for this mode. 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. A stock card dealt to an empty column becomes that column's first face-up card.
Read the opening
Here are the details for this mode. 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
Keep these points in mind. 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 exposed card may land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. An Ace cannot receive a lower-ranked card.
Move a group
Keep these points in mind. 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. 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.
Keep space available
A few details help explain this feature. You may preserve an empty column until you decide to deal from the stock. Any exposed card or legal same-suit group can occupy an empty column. Empty columns remain useful for separating temporary mixed builds. A new stock row fills every empty column with one card.
Bring in another row
The following details apply here. You cannot direct an individual stock card to a chosen destination. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns. Undo restores the previous arrangement when the stock-deal snapshot is available. Dealing can block an existing sequence as well as reveal new combinations.
Collect matching runs
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. Eight collected runs are required to finish Relaxed Spider.
Try another decision
Hints identify legal options without guaranteeing a win. Replay restores the same shuffle for another attempt. New game creates a fresh shuffle in the selected suit setting. Random relaxed deals are not presented as guaranteed solvable.
Separate variant progress
A few details help explain this feature. 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. Relaxed Spider keeps its saved games separate from standard Spider when saving is enabled.
