Play a great update to the classic spider solitaire game. Dynamic visuals and multiple play modes make this a must-have card game.

The game is relatively easy until level 16. Level 16 is difficult yet doable. It took me 360 moves and I had to use all 10 power ups to win that level but I did it. Once you get past level 16 the game gives you a breather through the next few levels. I'm at level 19 and so far so good, although it is still challenging, which I like. Each hand now takes well over an hour to finish, instead of a few simple minutes as it was in the beginning. There are a total of 30 levels, with 3 different types of gameplay. The game is challenging enough to provide well over 20 hours of gameplay just to get through the 30 different levels.
Anyone who enjoys a challenging game of spider solitaire will like this game. The graphics and gameplay are simple and straight forward. There is no storyline nor real theme. Just a lot of great, challenging spider solitaire to play.
I gave it four stars because although I do love the game, there is one aspect that is frustrating about it. When you get stuck during a hand with no more viable moves and have to redeal, it redeals the exact same cards from the deck instead of shuffling them and dealing a different set. So you end up having to play the same hand over and over again until you either figure out how to win it, or you get lucky and move the cards exactly the right way in order to win. I'd rather have a different set dealt on redeal but oh well. Maybe next time the developers will change that. In order to win some hands, using the power ups is a must.
I recommend this game!
