Spider Solitaire is one of the oldest single-player card games. Standard Windows solitaire has long been widely popular. The game is not the easiest, but fans of Spider Solitaire are ready to spend hours conjuring over the cards, finding winning moves and combinations.
Game history
Disputes about the place of appearance of solitaire games continue, although they do not lead to conflicts. All parties agree that the habit of laying out cards according to certain rules could only have originated with an idle lifestyle. Leisure time for non-standard card games was spent by aristocrats. It is not surprising that the painful days of imprisonment in Bastille representatives of the noble families whiled away for the invention of new solitaire games and improvement of the old ones. The name "Spider" probably explains the eight — so many legs of the spider and ready-made stacks in this card layout.
The game has successfully survived the centuries, has gone far beyond the aristocratic circle, and over time has taken new forms, but has retained the principles and rules. In the era of computerization, Spider Solitaire was firmly established in Windows and was present in all its versions until Windows 8 from the 90s.
