Scorpion Solitaire: a guide for your next round
Before making a move, check the cards in view. 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. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
