1 Suit Spider Solitaire is a great way to begin to learn how the game is played. With some experience under your belt, you can challenge yourself with 2 or 4 suits Spider Solitaire.
In 2 and 4 suits Spider Solitaire, the general layout is the same, and the rules do not vary too much. Again, two decks will be used. In 2 Suits, 54 cards of 2 suits are used. In 4 suit, 26 cards of each suit are used. Lay out the cards the same you would for 1 Suit Spider Solitaire. After this, follow these rules:
Apply the same card-moving rules from single to multi suit.
You can only move groups of cards as a single unit if they are in sequential order and of the same suit.
You can sequence cards of different colors or suits. However, you can only move cards together, or as a group, to other tableau columns if they are of the same suit. If you move a 4 of Hearts on top of a 5 of Spades, the 5 of Spades is blocked until the 4 of Hearts is moved. They cannot be moved together as a group.
Empty columns can be filled by any card, just like single suit.
The rest of the same rules apply, and the game is won when the foundation piles are filled. In 4 suits, this means 2 foundation piles of each suit are completed, and in 2 suits, 4 foundation piles of 2 suits are completed.
More suits adds more difficulty to the game, and means you have to be careful because a wrong move can trap a card that you needed desperately! Moreover, as more suits are added, there is a smaller chance of winning the game.  For more details, check out our guide on how to play Spider Solitaire.
