This is a 3-deck version of Spider Solitaire where there are 13 tableau columns and 78 cards dealt to the reserves. While this game has fewer cards than Huge Spider it is harder because there are fewer tableau stacks to shuffle cards between.
- On the tableau build down in descending order, and try to make the stacks suited whenever possible.
- Uncover the face down cards from the tableau & when you can not make any more moves deal from the reserves.
- Create 12 royal flushes before the timer runs out.

- Game Play
- Deal
- This is a three-deck game where 78 cards are dealt across 13 columns on the tableau and 78 cards are dealt in the reserves.
- Cards dealt to the tableau are all dealt face down except the bottommost card in each stack.
- Reserves
- When cards are dealt from the reserves a card is laid at the bottom of each column on the tableau.
- Reserves are dealt in six rounds of 13, with one card laid to each column.
- All columns on the tableau must have at least one card in them to deal more cards from the reserves.
- Playing
- You get 40 minutes to beat this game.
- On the tableau you can build down regardless of suit.
- You can move sequential descending stacks of cards if they are suited.
- You can move any card (or any sequential suited run of cards) onto an empty column on the tableau.
- Creating an empty column or two on the tableau makes it easier to reorganize existing cards to make them as sequential and suited as possible, so that you maximize your flexibility & allows you to quickly work your way through turning other cards on the tableau face up.
- Building strategy
- Stacks can easily have 15 or 20 cards in them, making it hard to see individual cards.
- To maximize flexibility try to keep stacks suited as much as possible.
- When you do not have suited stacks try to alternate colors as much as possible to make it easy to see at a glance where the suited runs end.
- Foundations are not built a card at a time, but each time a royal flush is completed the associated cards are removed from the playing field.
- Whenever you can’t make any more plays you can deal another set of 13 cards from the reserves.
- Scoring
- Each royal flush is worth 130 points, for a maximum base score of 1,560 points.
- Your remaining time adds to your score with you earning 50 points for each second you have remaining when the game ends.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Spider Solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
