Diagonal vs Spider

Diagonal plays like Spider with a twist - the distinctive layout and reserve pile add tactical options. The same core challenge applies: build same-suit runs to completion.

Strategy

  • Use the reserve pile to free critical cards
  • Create empty columns for King placement
  • Focus on completing one or two suits rather than spreading effort
