• Spider Solitaire: The objective of the game, like that of almost all solitaires, is to arrange all the suits in the fewest possible moves. The difference is that, in this case, it is played with two decks of cards and depending on the level they can be one, two or four different suits. In the case of playing with more than one suit, the cards must be ordered, in addition to descending from King to Ace, also by suit.
