Read before your next round of Scorpion Solitaire
A clear plan starts with the current position. 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. 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. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
Take a moment to read the table. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.
