By "blocked", you mean face-down?

By "naipe" you mean card?  in order to combine the two cards, they must be identical in both Suit and Rank?

It sounds exactly like "Spider Solitaire" included in the games supplied with Windows 7. However, the initial deal is uneven: the first 4 columns are dealt with 6 cards, so there are 54 cards in the deal, leaving 50 cards in the deck – 5 whole rows of 10 cards. It can be played with 1 suit (easy), 2 suits or 4 suits (hard), but always with 104 cards. The next row cannot be dealt if there are any empty columns on the table.

# Identify this 10 Column Solitaire

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-01-04)

A few days ago the person next to me on the plane was playing a solitaire game I had never seen, and I have been looking for the game name without success.

What I could figure out is:

**Deal**:

* Two decks (104 cards).
* 10 columns, each with 5 face-down cards.

**Movements**:

* The Draw action: draw from the deck a single card on ALL 10 columns (10 cards in total).
* The Move action: you can move partial cards as usual between columns.
* When no arrangement is possible, you draw the deck again.

**Special rules:**

* You can combine same suit and when you have A-K sequence, that set goes away.

**End game:**

* Win: completes all 8 sequence of A-K.
* Lose: getting stuck and run out of cards in the deck.

## **Update**: It looks like some kind of a Spider game.
