The user clicks and drags the card to the desired location. There are three levels of difficulty: Beginner (one suit), Intermediate (two suits), and Advanced (four suits). The aim of the game is to get all of the cards in order ( King to Ace). The game statistics will show that you've won every game you've ever played. If you save a game that is one move from winning, then clear the stats, you can load it and win it whenever a game seems hopeless. When you 'Open Last Saved Game,' spider does not record that you 'lost' the game in play. Windows Vista also included a new feature that tells the user when there are no more moves. Windows Vista also allows users to have limited customization of appearance by choosing background colors and card face designs or have them chosen randomly.
The version of Spider Solitaire included in Windows Vista allows row deals to be retracted and has been updated to have a new high resolution interface including new animation and sound effects. Therefore, a possible strategy is to expose as many face-down cards as possible, retracting afterward, before choosing a move. Any number of moves can be retracted, back to the last non-retractable move. Spider Solitaire allows moves to be retracted, except when dealing a new row or completing a run (ace-to-king sequence, which is then removed).
