Scorpion Solitaire: what to know before playing
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Take a moment to read the table. 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.
One thing to notice as you play
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
