How to Play Simple Simon Solitaire
Simple Simon is an open-information Spider-family game: all cards are dealt face up at the start, rewarding planning over guesswork. See the Simple Simon win rate for realistic expectations.
Rules
- Cards are dealt face up into 10 columns using the classic 8-8-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 layout.
- Build down by rank regardless of suit.
- Move same-suit descending packets as a unit.
- Any card can fill an empty column.
- Complete and clear four full same-suit K→A runs to win.
Strategy
Prioritize creating empty columns early. Empty space is your main conversion tool for turning mixed stacks into same-suit movable packets.
