Anybody play Beetle Spider? It appears that key cards- say the 6's, 8's, whatever are not available until near of game when it impossible to work with with them. Surely I am missing something. Ideas, suggestions greatly appreciated.

If you post one or two game numbers that you've not won, it might be easier to see if you've just unearthed an unwinnable one.
Generally you should have a good look at the deal before you make your first move and see which moves can create an empty column. That is the key to winning a lot of different games. Always try and assemble runs of cards IN SUIT. These can be moved around unlike mixed runs. The game gets progressively easier every time you manage to assemble an entire suit and it is taken out of the tableau. Just because a card CAN be moved doesn't mean you should move it. Hope this helps Bill, but post one of your losing numbers if it doesn't.
