History
of Spider Solitaire
-
"The devotees of Spider, who are legion, claim is at the king of all solitaires.
Certainly few others can give you quite the same combination of luck of
the deal plus extraordinary opportunities to overcome bad luck by
skillful manipulations." (Alphonse Moyse, 150 Ways to play
Solitaire, Whitman Publishing Company, MCML, p. 92)
-
"This one is said to
have been popular with Franklin D. Roosevelt when he was president of
the USA, and some call it the king of patience games." (Trevor Day
and The Diagram Group, Collins Gem Patience Card Games,
HarperCollins Publishers, 1996, ISBN 0004720164, p. 235)
-
"The game is said to
have been a particular favourite of Franklin D. Roosevelt." (David
Parlett, The Penguin Book of Patience, Allen Lane, London, 1979,
ISBN 071391193X, p. 286)
-
"According to Redbook
Magazine it was the favourite patience of Franklin D. Roosevelt." (The
Complete Book of Card Games, Hanlyn, London, 2001, ISBN 0600604136,
p. 242)
-
"The game is usually
known as Spider, a name which I have rejected because a number of
variations are known by the same name; in fact, Spider is not so much
the name of any one game but the generic name for any game of patience
in which the foundation-cards are not played to the centre, but in which
sequences are built within the lay-out itself. I have suggested the
alternative name of Roosevelt's Favourite because it is mentioned in the
Redbook Magazine as being the favourite patience game of Franklin
D. Roosevelt." (George F. Hervey, The illustrated Book of Card
Games for One, ISBN 0890091137, p. 129)
