Scorpion Solitaire

Scorpion Solitaire uses one 52-card deck, seven tableau columns, and a three-card reserve. The first four columns hide three cards at the top, while the remaining tableau cards begin face up. Build downward in the same suit, move any valid face-up group, and uncover the hidden cards. A completed King-to-Ace suit run leaves the tableau, bringing the game closer to its four-run goal.

1. Deal seven columns of seven cards and keep the three-card reserve aside.
2. Select any face-up card and the valid same-suit sequence above it.
3. Move that group onto a card one rank higher in the same suit.
4. Turn a hidden card face up as soon as it becomes the top card of a column.
5. Use the reserve when useful, fill an empty column with a King, and complete four suit runs from King to Ace.

• A tableau build descends by rank and stays in one suit.
• Every face-up card may start a moved group if the group above it is valid.
• Only a King or a group headed by a King may fill an empty column.
• A completed same-suit King through Ace run is removed in common versions.
• The reserve adds three cards to the first three columns when the available moves run out.

• Uncover hidden cards early. They are the main source of new choices.
• Avoid burying a King when an empty column may become available later.
• Check the whole moving group before placing it. A broken sequence can lock a suit.
• Keep one flexible column when possible so a long group has somewhere to go.
• Spot reverse sequences and crossing patterns early, because they can make a deal stall.

• Spider Solitaire: Spider uses two decks and ten columns, while Scorpion uses one deck and seven columns.
• Yukon Solitaire: Yukon also allows groups to move without requiring every card in the group to form a sequence.

• Uncovering hidden cards delivers constant small rewards throughout the deal.
• Same-suit building creates satisfying long sequences that move as one block.
• The three-card reserve adds a safety valve without removing the challenge.
• Empty columns open up dramatic rearrangement possibilities.
• Each deal presents a fresh arrangement of buried and exposed cards.
