Anyone else play Spider Solitaire?

[Cranky]

Think maybe I play to much but usually play when I'm taking a break in the shop or on the phone but sometimes will just sit and play when I'm not feeling like doing anything else. Anyways, usually play single suit and a game that counts each move. Usually end up scoring mid 150's unless I end up undoing something. Record low is 145 but one game threw a curve at me and ended up having to restart it several times and ended up with an all time high of 1630 moves! Win streak is 433 games.....and no I'm not at the computer all day long doing this lol

I do it with 2 suits. What I try to do every day is to get all the black sets first, then when I do the reds there is a certain sequence for each day. I tried all 4 suits but I never won and I never enjoyed it

I never heard of the game till now - I just tried it and won two of three games. It's fun, I'll be back for more. Hot Dog, another way to fritter away time on the computer!

I had the old version loaded on my 20 year old laptop out in the shop until the game quit working last year. I use this one now but didn't like it at first until I played a few games.... Spider Solitaire - Play Online

I play 2 decks, usually one or two games with my morning cup of joe. Maybe a couple games at night depending on what's going on. I think of it as mental gymnastics. My mom played for years and years, right up until she passed. When we came over to visit, she'd be on her computer playing. And at the time I considered it an old-folks ritual and that I would never waste my time playing. And now here I am. I hate to lose, so the Hint and Undo buttons are my friends.

To get a score of 1630, I was using the 'undo' button a lot lol. There are times when I'm groggy in the morning and playing a game seems to help wake up my brain. Guessing I've been playing one form or another of SS for 25 years or more. Got a game going now while listening to a radio program.

Not me!!! I play Classic Solitaire as it keeps it simple for me. Never really been into any kind of games as it were, so I am more of a non-interested player, when it comes to online gaming and its allure...cr8crshr/Bill

Can't find the 'classic' Spider Solitaire anymore.....it was pretty good but now that I've been playing the one in the link above, I like it. It's a lot less 'mouse' action too lol. Can click on a card and it'll go without having the capture and move it manually....just got to learn where it's going because it'll go where the system dictates and sometimes it goes to a column that I don't want it to go.

There's one called "Passage to India". I think it uses 8 decks! There is no was to loose but if you are using real cards I think it would take the entire passage from London to Bombay to complete!
