Default Spider Solitaire

I found this when I got a new computer with Windows 7.
Anyone else addicted?
I play a couple of games a day and only win about 1/4 of them...

I guess there are worse things to NEED

I kept it on the simple "one suit" type, and got so I was winning more than I was losing. Then I was trying to beat 1200. That's hard. Scoring in the 1180s to 1190s is easy, but breaking 1200 is difficult.

Once I got good at single-suit I switched to two suits. That was so much harder I went back to one. But that had gotten so easy I said to hell with it and went to free cell. Couple of times a year, maybe, I'll open spider and play it for a day or two.

My wife spends endless hours playing that game. For that reason, it is my favorite game cause it keeps her busy and off my back

I play every once in a while but can't never get lower than about 110 plays on the Spider Solitare. My wife plays it some and has actually broke a 100 (98 plays) one time. She plays Freecell also.

Correction--she just told me she had won in 94 plays before.

I still like the standard solitaire, three card deal. I play it on the desk top, the lap top, and the Kindle Fire.

Wife and I both play it and FreeCell.

I play the three deck...she plays the one deck.

I win occasionally.....she wins all the time.

We play on an old Win-XP.

Is there a website to download it for Win-7?
