In Spider Solitaire, groups of one or more consecutive cards are moved at a time within the Tableau. This brings the card into play and can then be moved when appropriate. A card is turned (or flipped) automatically when all cards atop of it are removed. Part of what has to be done to win a game is for the player to turn (cause to become visible) all 44 hidden cards in the Tableau. The remaining 50 cards are sent to the Stock. Only the top (bottom-most on-screen) card in each pile is face-up (visible) while all the rest are face-down (hidden or invisible). When the game starts, a pile of 54 cards is dealt into each Tableau column, 6 into the leftmost 4 columns, and 5 into the remaining 6 columns. Spider Solitaire is played with two decks of standard playing cards, for a total of 104 cards. In effect, the goal is to empty the Tableau of all cards.
