Rules, controls and help for Scorpion Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Try a more deliberate round
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
