Beetle Solitaire

A challenging two-deck patience similar to Spider. All 104 cards are dealt across ten columns — six with four cards and four with five. Build tableau columns downward in rank regardless of suit. Only same-suit sequences may move together as a group. When a complete King-to-Ace sequence of one suit forms atop a column it is removed. Remove all eight suited sequences to win. Deal from the stock when stuck — one card goes to each column.

Why play Beetle?

Beetle is a Spider-style tableau game with broad movement freedom but strict rewards for building clean suited runs.

Rules overview

Columns build downward by rank regardless of suit, but only same-suit sequences can move as groups and complete King-to-Ace suited runs clear from the board.

Strategy tips

  • Organize suits early so moveable groups become longer over time.
  • Avoid stacking in ways that create visually useful but unsplittable mixed runs.
  • Treat stock deals as commitment points, not casual resets.
