An introduction to playing 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. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
