Drag and drop cards between the 10 columns to make a solitaire game

Black Widow Solitaire is an interesting and exciting card game that requires logic, strategy and attention. The aim of the game is to get rid of all the cards in the deck by arranging them by ranks from higher to lower (exception: an ace lies on a deuce). Solitaire uses two decks (104 cards). At the beginning of the game ten columns are randomly shuffled: the first four columns have six cards per column, the rest have five cards per column. In total forty-four cards are shuffled. The top cards in the columns are left open, while the others are left upside down. You need to collect eight descending sets of cards from king to ace of the same suit. Once you collect such a sequence it will be removed from the playing field. At the beginning of the layout available cards are only the top cards of the columns. They can be moved, collecting sequences, without respecting the suits. The set of cards must end with an ace, the king cannot be placed on it. After as a result of transfers there are no cards left in the column, then any card or set of cards can be placed on the base cell of the column. If the layout is deadlocked and there are no available moves, a new row of cards can be dealt (6 rows in total). Before each deal there must be at least one card in each column. The main difference of "Black Widow" from the classic Spider Solitaire is that cards can be moved from row to row without observing suits, which simplifies the task of collecting the layout.
