Grounds for Divorce is a two deck Spider type game.

How to Play

There are ten tableau piles. These piles are built down regardless of suit. Groups of cards in sequence down in suit may be moved as a unit. A space can be filled by any card or legal group of cards. At the start of the game 5 cards each are dealt face up to each pile.

The remaining cards form a stock. The stock deals one card to each non-empty tableau pile by clicking. No cards are dealt to empty tableau piles.

Whenever a sequence of 13 cards down in suit from King to Ace is formed, it will automatically be removed from play (this is like Spider). The game is won when all of the cards have been removed from play in these 13 card sequences.

Like in Spider, same suit sequences should be preferred even though building is down regardless of suit. The object is to build down in suit sequences. Spaces should be made as soon as possible. Note that since cards are not dealt to empty spaces from the stock, once a space is created it will remain until cards are moved there.

An average player can win Grounds for Divorce about 75% of the time, so this game offers more opportunity for winning than regular Spider.
